"Quality is much more important than quantity. Not a lot of numbers, out here, but the heifers in the middle of the ring right now, the Summer Yearling, Junior Yearling, Winter Yearling & Senior Yearling will go on throughout the year and do well. Not quite in the condition, but this Junior Yearling at 90% is still the best heifer out here. She is so correct, so stylish throughout and balanced with more frame and width of chest and scale than this correct Summer Yearling. This Summer Yearling is more correct in the way she moves on her hind legs than this Winter Yearling.”
“A Dairy cow is a Dairy cow and it doesn’t matter what colour or what size, you can appreciate them. Real fi ne cows represented the Jersey breed today. Intermediate Champion, with a little more feed and TLC can be a great cow some day.
Mature cows are both diff erent kinds of cows. Today for me she spells milk and has a wide mammary system with four calves. For Reserve I will go with the 5-Year- Old that has had four calves, along with a lot of width in her mammary system. For Honourable Mention I will use my Intermediate Champion. They are good footed cows and move with ease and have stood the test of time.”

Russell Gammon, giving his last report as Jersey Canada’s Executive Secretary pointed out how the Jersey breed has had a lot to celebrate in the past few years. “While it is important for the Jersey breed to celebrate and recognize our great accomplishments we must also retain our hunger to continue progress, renewal and renovation. Our biggest enemy is complacency, the fear of change and the growth change can bring,” said Russell.

Russell highlighted Jersey Canada’s accomplishments in 2010 including the highest registrations since 1996, embryo marketing has increased signi cantly along with increased website and online magazine. Opportunities to advance –continue to increase electronic registrations-60% are now electronic, hunt out operating ef ciencies, new ways to tell the story, website and social media, deepen relationships with farm press and work on a new strategic plan (Jersey Impact) and its goals. In conclusion Russell brought forth a quote from Calvin Covington. “The most dangerous time in a hog’s life is when he is fat.” Don’t go to sleep stay hunger and stay focused. STAY HUNGRY.
