Jersey Canada's 2011 Registry Activity Highest in 40 Years

Thanks in part to a surge in registrations at year-end, Jersey Canada has processed the most registrations in over four decades in 2011.  During December alone, a whopping 895 registrations were processed, bringing the 2011 total to 8445 Jerseys registered for the year – 88 more registrations than 2010, representing the most registrations processed since 1968.

There has been a significant increase in electronic registrations over the past five years, as Jersey Canada members take advantage of the efficiency which comes from filing their registrations online, or through Valacta and CanWest DHI.  In 2006, 33% of registrations were received electronically.  The percentage of electronically filed registrations has more than doubled in 2011 to 68%.

The activity at the Jersey Canada registry desk is proof positive that Jerseys continue to gain a stronger and stronger foothold in the Canadian dairy industry.  As the number of registered Jerseys continues to increase across the country, Jersey Canada looks forward with great anticipation to the many new opportunities which lie ahead in 2012!
