Dairy industry participants in North America know that great and revolutionary happenings are taking place with the Jersey breed with stunning rapidity! Further proof of roaring Jersey progress can be found in some new information just announced by Jersey Canada.
After reviewing 2011 activity statistics to the end of February, Jersey Canada is thrilled to announce that a grand total of 1,002 new herd prefixes have been registered since January 2004!!
Digging into the story behind the story reveals that over 825 (82%) of these new herd prefixes have been registered since January 2006. This statistic provides strong evidence that Jersey Canada's National Extension Program (born in 2006) is working very well!
Jersey Canada regards registration of a herd prefix as evidence that a new Jersey owner intends to begin registering Jersey animals. Herd prefix registration stats are therefore used as a key indicator of more sustained growth in the ranks of Jersey owners in Canada.
The association has celebrated other recent milestones, including the highest number of registrations since 1968 in 2010 and the best two years for memberships since 1966/1967 in 2009/2010. Jersey Canada is now poised for further exciting growth as expanding numbers of dairy producers move to invest in Jerseys for their dairying future!
