The results are in, and as forecast, registered Jersey activity in Canada continued to expand in 2022. Totalling 11,891, this marks the fifth straight year of more than 11,000 registrations. A wider view of registration numbers sees a 10-year average growth rate of 3.01%, six times the industry average. It is good see the dairy industry in Canada continue to grow, and good to see Jerseys take a greater role in this growth, as a pragmatic addition for producers looking to cut costs and increase payments.

This issue includes the results of the 67th annual All Canadian competition. A culmination of a year on the Canadian Jersey show circuit, the All Canadian competition provides an even playing field where geography or time constraints may otherwise prevent exhibitors from competing alongside one another. Following close on the heels of the 2022 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, the All Canadians are supported by our members and sponsors, and this year’s 189 entries are the most ever in the contest’s current format. Clearly this speaks to not only the return of shows and events, but the overall surge in Jersey numbers in Canada.

Looking forward, we are excited to be holding our Annual General Meeting in Levis, Quebec, in conjunction with the Jersey Quebec AGA. This unique opportunity will afford attendees 3 days of socializing, sightseeing and speakers – in both official languages. Only since the return of in-person events have we realized what we were missing during the

last few years. Many members plan their year around a trip to this meeting, even before they know where it will be held. The AGM weekend is a chance to visit award-winning herds in the company of other Jersey enthusiasts, and the high numbers of people that attend year after year illustrates that our members are passionate about their work, the breed and the association. For more information on attending our AGM, please see page 55. See you in Quebec!

Foire agricole Royale d’hiver, le Tout Canadien est appuyé de nos membres et commanditaires et, cette année, les 189 participants représentaient le plus grand nombre de participants jamais vu dans ce format du concours. Nous remarquons donc un retour pour les expositions et les événements mais aussi une augmentation générale du nombre de Jerseys au Canada.

Les données sont compilées et, comme prévu, l’activité a continué à augmenter pour les Jerseys enregistrées au Canada en 2022. Le total de 11 891 marque la cinquième année consécutive de plus de 11 000 enregistrements. Sur un plan plus large, on voit une croissance d’une moyenne de 3,01 % des données d’enregistrement sur dix ans, six fois plus que la moyenne de l’industrie. C’est bon de voir l’industrie laitière au Canada continuer à croître et c’est bon de voir les Jerseys prendre une grande place dans cette croissance en tant qu’ajout pragmatique pour les producteurs cherchant à couper les coûts et augmenter les revenus.

Cette édition comprend les résultats d la 67e compétition Tout Canadien. Point culminant d’une année sur le circuit des expositions canadiennes Jerseys, la compétition Tout Canadien fournit un terrain égal où la géographie et les contraintes de temps pourraient prévenir les exposants de se faire compétition entre eux. Tout juste après la

Nous sommes heureux de tenir notre assemblée générale annuelle à Lévis, Québec en conjonction avec l’AGA de Jersey Québec. Cette opportunité unique offrira aux participants 3 jours d’amitiés, de visites et de conférenciers – dans les deux langues officielles. C’est en revenant aux événements en présentiel que nous avons réalisé ce qui nous a manqué pendant ces dernières années de pandémie. Plusieurs membres planifient leur année autour de leur voyage à cette réunion, même avant de savoir où celle-ci se tiendra. La fin de semaine de l’AGA est une chance de visiter des troupeaux récompensés en compagnie d’autres adeptes de Jerseys et le nombre de personnes qui y assistent chaque année illustre que nos membres sont passionnés de leur travail, de la race et de l’association. Pour plus d’informations pour assister à notre AGA, consultez la page 55. Au plaisir de vous voir au Québec!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE DU PRESIDENT

Guillaume Dumais President / président, Jersey Canada

And that's it, the end of my career as Jersey Canada president and director. It has been an honour and an incredible experience to serve this organization for eight years. For the young ones who will read these lines, know that getting involved brings not only responsibilities but incredible opportunities.

Over the past eight years, I have had the chance to work with great people, both Jersey Canada staff and the majority of directors I have worked with. I will not deny that there have been more difficult times, but I have always tried to remain true to my principles and my convictions, and defend the interests of the region I represented while working to enact the values of the association.

From a personal point of view, my involvement at the national level allowed me to improve my English considerably and gave me the chance to visit our beautiful country by attending AGMs, often taking advantage of these trips to include a short vacation with my spouse or friends. I will have set foot in, made contacts and met people in seven of 10 Canadian provinces which, for me, represents a great wealth and is a great reward for the time and effort I have put forward.

While being a director offers a chance to travel and make new friends, it is a serious commitment that requires meetings with different committees and industry partners, managing human resources and budgets, planning events, and making decisions that will not always please everyone. Remember, the director with whom you do not agree on occasion is first and foremost a volunteer, a dairy farmer, a mother or a fa-

ther. The directors who represent you do their best to satisfy all members so let us be grateful for the work they do, because they have many other responsibilities besides in their own businesses and personal lives.

I thank deeply all those with whom I have worked or met in recent years, you are part of what will remain for me a very enriching experience, and one I will remember fondly.

voyages pour y jumeler de courtes vacances avec ma conjointe ou des amis. J’aurai mis le pied dans 7 des 10 provinces canadiennes, fait des contacts et connu des gens originaires de chacune des 10 provinces ce qui, pour moi, représente une belle richesse et est une belle récompense pour le temps et les efforts consacrés à mon implication.

Et voilà, c’est la fin de mon parcours comme conseiller de l’association mais aussi comme président. Ce fut un honneur et une expérience incroyable de siéger pour cette organisation pendant huit ans. Pour les plus jeunes qui liront ces lignes, sachez que de s’impliquer apporte des responsabilités mais aussi des opportunités incroyables.

Durant ces huit dernières années, j’ai eu la chance de côtoyer des gens formidables autant les employés Jersey Canada que la majorité des directeurs avec qui j’ai eu à travailler. Je ne vous cacherai pas qu’il y a eu des périodes plus difficiles, mais j’ai toujours essayé de rester honnête avec mes principes, mes convictions et défendre les intérêts de la région que je représentais tout en travaillant pour les valeurs de l’association.

D’un point de vue personnel, mon implication au niveau national m’a permis d’améliorer considérablement mon anglais, j’ai eu la chance de pouvoir visiter notre beau et grand pays en allant aux AGA et en profitant un peu de ces

Être directeur ce n’est pas seulement voyager et se faire des nouveaux amis, c’est d’abord et avant tout de nombreuses réunions avec différents comités, des rencontres avec des partenaires de l’industrie, gérer des ressources humaines, gérer un budget, planifier des évènements, prendre des décisions qui parfois ne plairont pas à tout le monde etc. Il faut toujours se rappeler que le directeur avec qui vous n’êtes pas d’accord à l’occasion, c’est avant tout un bénévole, un producteur laitier, une mère ou un père de famille. Les différents directeurs qui vous représentent font leur possible pour satisfaire l’ensemble des membres, soyons reconnaissants du travail qu’ils accomplissent car elles/ils ont déjà beaucoup de rôles à remplir dans leur entreprise et leur famille.

Bref, je remercie tous ceux et celles avec qui j’ai travaillé ou que j’ai rencontrés ces dernières années, vous faites partie de ce qui restera pour moi une expérience très enrichissante. J’en garderai de très beaux souvenirs.

Class 22

Charlyn Jerseys

Can you tilt a Jersey on her side when pregnant to trim her feet? - Aimee P.

K: To tilt a pregnant Jersey/cow or not depends upon the hoof trimming technique being used. For example, my way of hoof trimming uses a hoof rack or trimming chute, where the three legs are standing on the chute floor with one leg being lifted and secured so that the hoof trimmer can work on that hoof, so tilting isn’t necessary. However, when using a tilting table, since the mechanism itself already tilts the animal, ideally the most comfortable way to trim their hooves is to make sure there is good cushioning inside the padded chute doors where the doors snugly or loosely hold the cow lying on her side.

How often should show calves have their hooves trimmed? – Jade D.

K: In my experience I find that show calve's hooves should be trimmed before the start of show season which is typically spring and later again during the fall. But this schedule is dependent on the animal itself, as show calves typically require touch ups in between this period unlike non-show calves.

Do you block every white line? Is it different if in a tie stall, pack or free stall?

–

Unique Valleystream Genetics

K: If a free stall or pack, a block can be a good idea since the cow walks on cement floors that could be wet, or they walk on different kinds of flooring. Whereas a tie stall, it depends on the bedding situation and the hoof problem, where sometimes a block is needed and sometimes not. This decision is best left to the hoof trimmer together with the cow owner.

Ask the Professional

Written by Kiyoshi Kamei

Kiyoshi Kamei has been trimming hooves for 40 years and is passionate about the trade. He focuses on inspiring the younger generation and educating the cattle community on the art of quality hoof trimming and care.

Your thoughts on trimming outside wall and inside? I have heard it’s not recommended, but sometimes it’s needed.

K: Ideally an experienced hoof trimmer should trim the hooves evenly every time, but sometimes either the outside or inside wall could be trimmed unevenly. So in my experience a hoof trimmer needs to be careful when trimming the outside and inside wall, because if you trim too much off either wall, the cow could be unbalanced when walking.

Any tips for if you find a sore cow, caught early but don’t want to be too aggressive or finding an ulcer? Is pressure the best method?

K: If you notice a sore cow and see that it has an ulcer during the early stages, the treatment could involve gently digging out the ulcer until fresh blood comes out. I believe digging out the ulcer is likely necessary or else the ulcer may continue to grow. After digging, then use hydrogen peroxide and when you see bubbling, this shows that the debris is coming out. After wiping the bubbling, use tetracycline powder into the clean ulcer area and put some cotton and bandage well.

How do you identify different white lines. Either bacterial or physical impact (rock, wrong step) is there a way at all?

K: A well-trimmed hoof would have a nice healthy white/creamy line as its name implies. However, with an infection caused by bacteria, the white line looks darker and is a little thinner. With physical impact caused by an object like a pebble, the white line starts as a bruise and the site is tender to pressure and without proper treatment it may turn into an ulcer. If the cow owner notices these symptoms early, consulting a hoof trimmer to determine the best course of action is best since every situation is unique.

Can you correct pedal bone once it has carried the wrong angle for a period of time?

K: Yes, you can correct a pedal bone once it has carried at the wrong angle for some time by regularly performing hoof trimming. The hoof trimmer will assess the severity of the wrong angle and trim accordingly. To avoid this situation, it would be best to check the cow’s feet before putting out to pasture for a long period of time.

How soon should a block cow be seen again? Is two weeks too early?

K: There is no time frame to leave the block on, it is better to observe instead. My suggestion is checking the treated hoof first and if it healed well and the area looks dry and clean, then leave the block on for another week to make sure of proper consistent healing. Then if the cow owner feels that the cow’s walking comfortably and the stride is back to normal, then the block can be removed.

How often does a Jersey need hoof trimming? How to tell if it needs to be done? – Samantha H.

K: With proper nutrition and good overall Jersey or cow health, a hoof grows on average 5-7mm a month, so a minimum of twice a year is recommended for hoof trimming, but of course if a hoof health issue arises, don’t hesitate to call your hoof trimmer since early detection prevents bigger problems later on. The way to tell if the cow needs their hooves trimmed is by observing how they walk such as if their stride length gets shorter, or their back hunches up. Good instincts by the cow owner are an important part of hoof health.

Est-ce qu’on peut coucher une Jersey sur le côté lorsqu’elle est gestante pour tailler ses onglons? – Aimee P.

K: Coucher une Jersey/vache gestante sur le côté dépend de la technique de taille d’onglons utilisée. Par exemple, ma technique utilise un support à sabot ou couloir de contention, où trois des pieds des animaux restent au sol et un pied est levé et sécurisé pour que le tailleur puisse travailler sur ce sabot, donc aucun besoin de coucher l’animal. Par contre, lorsqu’on utilise une table basculante, puisque le mécanisme penche déjà l’animal, idéalement la façon la plus confortable de tailler leurs sabots est de s’assurer qu’il y a du capitonnage adéquat à l’intérieur des portes matelassées où les portes tiennent les vaches serrées ou moins serrées lorsqu’elles sont sur le côté.

À quelle fréquence est-ce qu’on doit tailler les sabots des veaux d’exposition – Jade D.

K: Selon mon expérience, je trouve que les sabots des veaux devraient être taillés avant le début de la saison des expositions, qui est typiquement au printemps, puis plus tard à l’automne. Mais cet horaire dépend de l’animal lui-même car les veaux d’expositions demanderont habituellement des retouches pendant cette période, contrairement aux veaux qui ne font pas d’exposition.

Est-ce qu’il faut mettre un bloc pour chaque ligne blanche? Est-ce que c’est différent si c’est une étable entravée, une litière accumulée ou une stabulation libre? – Unique Valleystream Genetics

K: Si c’est une stabulation libre ou un parc avec litière accumulée, un bloc peut être une bonne idée car les vaches marchent sur des planchers de ciment qui peuvent être mouillés ou elles marchent sur plusieurs planchers différents. Dans une stabulation entravée, tout dépend de la litière et du problème du sabot – parfois un bloc sera requis, parfois non. Il est préférable que la décision soit prise conjointement par le tailleur et le propriétaire de la vache.

Kiyoshi Kamei a taillé des onglons pendant 40 ans et est passionné de ce métier. Il se concentre à inspirer la nouvelle génération et à éduquer la communauté du bétail sur l’art du soin des onglons et de la taille de qualité.

Votre opinion sur la taille de la paroi extérieure et intérieure? J’ai entendu dire que ce n’est pas recommandé mais que parfois c’est nécessaire.

K: Idéalement, un tailleur expérimenté devrait tailler les sabots également chaque fois, mais parfois il arrive que la paroi intérieure ou extérieure ne soit pas taillée également. Donc, selon mon expérience, un tailleur doit être minutieux lorsqu’il taille la paroi intérieure ou extérieure car si vous enlevez trop d’un côté, la vache sera déséquilibrée lorsqu’elle marchera.

Des conseils si lorsque vous trouvez une vache boiteuse, prise tôt mais que vous ne voulez pas être trop agressif ou trouver un ulcère? Est-ce qu’appliquer une pression est la meilleure méthode?

K: Si vous remarquez une vache boiteuse et voyez qu’un ulcère est à ses débuts, le traitement pourrait d’être d’enlever délicatement l’ulcère jusqu’à ce que du sang frais en coule. Je crois que d’enlever l’ulcère est probablement nécessaire sinon l’ulcère continuera à grossir. Après l’extraction, utilisez du peroxyde d’hydrogène et lorsque vous voyez des bulles, ceci signifie que les débris sortent. Après avoir essuyé les bulles, utilisez de la poudre de tétracycline dans la région nettoyée de l’ulcère, puis appliquer du coton et un pansement.

Comment identifiez-vous les différentes lignes blanches? Bactériennes ou impact physique (roche, faux pas)? Comment les différencier?

K: Un sabot bien taillé devrait avoir une belle ligne blanche/crème, comme son nom l’indique. Par contre, à cause d’une infection bactérienne, la ligne blanche est plus foncée et un peu moins large. Avec l’impact physique causé par un objet comme une roche, la ligne blanche ressemble à une ecchymose, l’endroit est sensible à la pression et, sans traitement adéquat, peut se transformer en ulcère. Si le propriétaire de la vache remarque ces symptômes assez tôt, contacter un tailleur d’onglons pour

déterminer le meilleur traitement à apporter et ce qu’il y a de mieux à faire car chaque situation est unique.

Pouvez-vous corriger une phalange distale (pedal bone) lorsqu’elle a été dans un angle incorrect pendant une bonne période?

K: Oui, on peut corriger la phalange distale qui a été dans un angle incorrect pendant un certain temps en faisant une taille régulière du sabot. Le tailleur devra évaluer la sévérité du mauvais angle et tailler en conséquence. Pour éviter cette situation, il serait préférable de vérifier les pieds des vaches avant de les mettre au pâturage pendant une longue période.

Quand une vache avec un bloc devraitelle être réexaminée? c'est deux semaines trop tôt?

K: Il n’y a pas de temps fixe, comme deux semaines, pour laisser un bloc –c’est préférable d’observer. Par contre, ma suggestion serait de vérifier le pied traité en premier et, s’il est bien guéri et que la région semble sèche et propre, laisser alors le bloc pendant une autre semaine pour s’assurer que c’est bien guéri. Puis, si le propriétaire de la vache croit que la vache marche confortablement et que sa démarche est revenue à la normale, le bloc peut alors être enlevé.

À quelle fréquence est-ce qu’une Jersey a besoin d’une taille d’onglons? Comment savoir s’ils doivent être coupés?

– Samantha H.

K: Avec une alimentation adéquate et une bonne santé générale des Jerseys ou des vaches, un onglon pousse environ 5-7 mm par mois, donc un minimum de deux fois par année est recommandé, mais si une maladie du sabot survient, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec votre tailleur d’onglons car une détection hâtive prévient de plus gros problèmes dans l’avenir. Pour savoir si une vache a besoin de faire tailler ses onglons, il suffit d’observer leur démarche pour voir si leur pas devient plus court ou si leur dos se courbe. Un bon instinct du propriétaire est une part importante de la santé des onglons.

SIRE REPORT

DFC Re-Launches Important Research Funding Program

Les PLC relancent un important programme de financement de la recherche

Provided by/ fourni par: Dairy Farmers of Canada

Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is excited to announce renewed investment in DFC’s Dairy Production Research Funding Program, which helps to foster innovation, increase farm efficiency and sustainability, and enhance animal care, health and welfare. The Dairy Production Research Funding Program, which ran successfully from 1995 until 2010, was temporarily placed on hold until 2021 due to shifting priorities in Canada’s ever-evolving research funding environment. Now, thanks to new government-matching programs from agencies such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), DFC’s investments in dairy research will reach even further.

DFC commits over $2 million annually towards research programs and priority areas; combining its investment with partner contributions last year increased that number upwards of $9 million. In 2022, recipients of DFC’s competitive research funding programs joined 45 ongoing projects, 34 institutions, more than 140 scientists and 130 students, and over 1,000 collaborations taking place on dairy farms across the country.

Other investments in research over the years have led to important advancements in dairy production, such as strengthening the animal assessment process in proAc-

tion®’s Animal Care module, and in onfarm best practices, such as demonstrating how frequent emptying or covering liquid manure storage tanks can help lower dairy’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

For this year’s Dairy Production Research Funding Program, DFC is primarily focused on investing in dairy farm sustainability as the sector commits to achieving net-zero GHG by 2050. This important program, along with DFC’s ongoing Nutrition Research Funding Program, support the organization’s 2022-2027 National Dairy Research Strategy.

The call for proposals for the Dairy Production Research Funding Program is now closed; select principal investigators will be notified in mid-February if they are invited to the next step of the selection process. For more information on this program or the National Dairy Research Strategy, please visit: dairyfarmersofcanada.ca/en/ dairy-research

durabilité des fermes agricoles et à améliorer les soins, la santé et le bien-être des animaux.

Le Programme de financement de la recherche en production laitière, qui a fonctionné avec succès de 1995 à 2010, a été temporairement suspendu jusqu’en 2021 en raison du changement des priorités dans l’environnement en constante évolution au regard du financement de la recherche au Canada. Maintenant, grâce à de nouveaux programmes de contrepartie du gouvernement provenant d’organismes comme le Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG), les investissements des PLC en recherche laitière auront une portée encore plus grande.

Les Producteurs laitiers du Canada (PLC) sont heureux d’annoncer le renouvellement de l’investissement dans leur Programme de financement de la recherche en production laitière qui contribue à favoriser l’innovation, à accroître l’efficacité et la

Les PLC consacrent plus de 2 millions de dollars par an aux programmes de recherche et aux enjeux prioritaires; en combinant son investissement avec les contributions de ses partenaires l’année dernière, ce chiffre a atteint 9 millions de dollars. En 2022, les bénéficiaires des programmes compétitifs de financement de la recherche des PLC ont rejoint 45 projets en cours, 34 institutions, plus de 140 scientifiques et 130 étudiants, alors qu’il y a eu plus de 1 000 collaborations dans des fermes laitières à travers le pays.

Au fil des ans, d’autres investissements en recherche ont permis d’impor-

tantes avancées en production laitière, comme le renforcement du processus d’évaluation des animaux dans le volet sur le bien-être animal de proAction®, et dans les bonnes pratiques à la ferme, la démonstration de la manière dont la vidange fréquente ou la couverture des réservoirs d’entreposage du fumier liquide peut contribuer à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) des fermes laitières.

Pour le Programme de financement de la recherche en production laitière de cette année, les PLC se concentrent principalement sur l’investissement dans la durabilité des fermes laitières alors que le secteur s’engage à atteindre la carboneutralité d’ici 2050. Cet important programme, ainsi que le Programme de financement de la recherche en nutrition des PLC, soutiennent la Stratégie nationale de recherche laitière 2022-2027 de l’organisme.

L’appel de propositions pour le Programme de financement de la recherche en production laitière est maintenant terminé; les principaux chercheurs sélectionnés seront informés à la mi-février s’ils sont invités à l’étape suivante du processus de sélection. Pour de plus amples renseignements sur ce programme ou sur la Stratégie nationale de recherche laitière, veuillez consulter le site : producteurslaitiersducanada.ca/fr/recherchelaitiere.

DFC’s ProAction Animal Care Framework Consistent With National Standards, Says NFACC

Le volet « bien-être animal » du programme proAction conforme aux normes nationales, confirme le CNSAE

An independent review by a credible third-party organization has reaffirmed that the proAction Animal Care module developed by Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) and implemented on Canadian dairy farms is consistent with national animal care standards.

In a letter to DFC this November, the National Farm Animal Care Council confirmed it has independently reviewed the content of the DFC’s proAction® program and found it to meet all requirements of Canada’s Animal Care Assessment Framework. This national framework was developed by consensus among multiple stakeholders and sets a credible process for developing animal care assessment programs.

“This declaration from NFACC serves as further recognition that the best management practices followed by Canadian dairy farmers under the proAction program are consistent with the highest standards of animal care,” says DFC President Pierre Lampron. “Under proAction, Canadian dairy farmers produce high-quality, nutritious milk in accordance with some of the world’s most stringent standards. proAction builds on robust federal and provincial regulations, instilling confidence that every drop of Canadian milk was produced with care.”

The Animal Care module of proAction is based on the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, which is a science-based, nationally developed guideline containing both requirements and best practices for dairy cattle care and handling.

DFC recently issued its 2022 Progress Report on proAction, highlighting progress made by the dairy sector over the past year in the program’s six priority areas: milk quality, food safety, animal care, livestock traceability, biosecurity and the environment. It also draws links between proAction and DFC’s Net-Zero Strategy.

Un examen indépendant effectué par un organisme tiers crédible a confirmé à nouveau que le volet sur le bien-être animal de proAction élaboré par les Producteurs laitiers du Canada (PLC) et mis en œuvre dans les fermes laitières canadiennes est conforme aux normes nationales sur les soins aux animaux d’élevage.

Dans une lettre adressée aux PLC en novembre dernier, le Conseil national pour les soins aux animaux d'élevage (CNSAE) a confirmé qu'il avait procédé à un examen indépendant du contenu du programme proAction® des PLC et qu'il avait conclu qu'il répondait à toutes les exigences du Cadre d'évaluation des soins aux animaux du Canada. Ce cadre national a été élaboré par consensus entre plusieurs intervenants et établit un processus crédible pour l'élaboration de programmes d'évaluation des soins aux animaux.

« Cette déclaration du CNSAE constitue une reconnaissance supplémentaire du fait que les bonnes pratiques de

gestion suivies par les producteurs laitiers canadiens dans le cadre du programme proAction sont conformes aux normes les plus élevées en matière de bien-être des animaux », affirme le président des PLC, Pierre Lampron. « Dans le cadre de proAction, les producteurs laitiers canadiens produisent un lait nutritif de grande qualité conformément à certaines des normes les plus strictes au monde. Le programme proAction s'appuie sur des réglementations fédérales et provinciales rigoureuses, ce qui permet d'avoir la certitude que chaque goutte de lait canadien a été produite avec soin. »

Le volet sur le bien-être animal de proAction est basé sur le Code de pratiques pour le soin et la manipulation des bovins laitiers, qui constitue un ensemble de directives appuyées par la recherche et élaborées à l'échelle nationale, contenant à la fois des exigences et des bonnes pratiques pour le soin et la manipulation des bovins laitiers.

Les PLC ont récemment publié leur Rapport des progrès 2022 sur proAction, soulignant les progrès réalisés par le secteur laitier au cours de la dernière année dans les six volets prioritaires du programme : qualité du lait, salubrité des aliments, bien-être animal, traçabilité des animaux, biosécurité et environnement. Il établit également des liens entre proAction et la Stratégie sur la carboneutralité des PLC.

Benefits of Coconut Oil with Jersey Calves Avantages de l’huile de noix de coco pour les veaux Jerseys

Written by/Écrit par Madison Smith

While working for the Gorrill family at Carim Dairy near Bulyea, Saskatchewan, we were experiencing a lot of trouble keeping the Jersey calves alive . The calf protocols were changed but nothing made a big difference in preventing them from getting sick. Housing was changed many times over the years, going from individual stalls to group housing, from being fed with bottles to purchasing an automatic calf feeder. Typically, the calves would get sick between day 5 to 14 but if we could get them through that 2-week critical period then they would be good. The sickness would start with dehydration and scours and occasionally they would develop respiratory infections. Electrolytes and a variety of different treatments didn’t seem to be working, including changing the amount of milk and frequency of feeding times. Whole milk and milk replacers were both used to see if that made a difference. At that time around 90% of the calves would get sick and 60% would die. The Jersey calves seems more sensitive compared to the calves that were crossed with Holsteins and the Jerseys would almost always be the only ones that got sick.

After a bit of researching, we came up with the idea to try coconut oil. The decision was made after looking at the fat profiles of milk and discovering that maybe the calves weren’t getting enough

energy through the whole milk or milk replacer. We started out with liquid coconut oil and added 2 tbsp to each of the bottles of milk replacer every feeding. We didn't start the addition of coconut oil until they were off colostrum. We eventually switched to solid coconut oil because it was more economical. We would use the same amount, and it would melt in the bottles prior to feeding.

After a few days it became noticeable that the coconut oil was making a big difference. We went from having to treat 90% of the calves to around 10%. The calves manure went from very watery to solid and the death rate dropped down to 2%. When the calves were on coconut oil and needed a treatment, they responded better to the medication. A custom milk replacer was ordered with coconut oil al-

"We have always strived to continually improve wherever we can on our farm. Improving animal care is a top priority for us. Since we began raising Jerseys, we have always been challenged with our calves in the first 21 days of their lives. If they get through that period, the challenge is over, and they are headed for success. We learned about the coconut oil presentation at the Jersey Canada 2022 annual meeting, and after lots of discussion, we tried it on our next calves. My mom quickly noticed a difference, they did not seem to hiccup or waver in their early days of life. We have continued to use it on all our Jersey calves for the first 21 days. We do still have some regular health issues but since we started using the coconut oil the calves seem to be able to handle that stress and not get pulled down by what's ailing them. Coconut oil is here to stay in our calf program!!"

- Reginald Dillman, Musqie Valley Farms

ready mixed in and it worked just as well as manually adding it to the bottles.

The science behind the coconut oil and why it could help the calves is because it is a medium chain fatty acid. An important energy source in milk comes from fatty acids. These fatty acids are found in the milk in globules and are broken down by the calf to supply energy. There are short, medium, and long chain fatty acids, depending how long the carbon chain is.

Medium chain fatty acids are found in higher quantities in Jersey whole milk compared to Holstein whole milk. These medium chain fatty acids are more easily absorbed by the calf compared to the other fatty acids because they can be absorbed straight from the small intestine to the liver with the aid of saliva.

The long chain fatty acids require enzymes from the pancreas to be able to be broken down for energy. In a newborn calf the pancreas doesn’t make these enzymes until around two weeks of life. So, if the milk the calf is being fed is high in long chain fatty acids, they won’t be able to use it as an energy source.

Milk replacers are typically formulated using animal fat as the main source of fat. Animal fat has a high percentage of long chain fatty acids, so even if the calf is getting an adequate amount of milk replacer, they will still have trouble breaking down most of the fat. A bonus seems

to be that medium chain fatty acids also have antimicrobial properties and help with immune response of the calf, which explains why it responds to treatments better while on coconut oil.

The more medium chain fatty acids the calf has access to in the first two weeks of life the more it will have an advantage over calves that aren’t getting enough of those fatty acids. If you are having trouble keeping your calves healthy it could be beneficial to try adding coconut oil to Jersey calves’ diets.

2 cuillères à soupe à chaque bouteille de lait de remplacement à chaque repas. Nous ne commençons pas l’ajout d’huile de noix de coco avant qu’ils n’aient terminé le colostrum. Nous sommes éventuellement passés à l’huile de noix de coco solide car c’était plus économique. Nous utilisions la même quantité et nous la faisions dissoudre dans les bouteilles avant de les offrir aux veaux.

chaîne moyenne sont plus facilement absorbés par les veaux comparativement aux autres acides gras car ils peuvent être absorbés directement par le petit intestin et le foie avec l’aide de la salive.

Lorsque je travaillais pour la famille Gorrill chez Carim Dairy près de Bulyea, Saskatchewan, nous avions des problèmes à garder en vie les veaux Jerseys. Les protocoles de veaux furent changés mais rien n’a vraiment aidé pour les empêcher de tomber malades. On a changé leur logement plusieurs fois au fil des ans, passant de logettes individuelles à des parcs de groupe, de les alimenter avec des bouteilles et en achetant un système automatique d’alimentation. Typiquement, les veaux tombaient malades entre l’âge de 5 et 14 jours, mais si nous pouvions les garder en santé au cours de cette période critique de 2 semaines, ils resteraient en vie. La maladie commençait par une déshydratation et de la diarrhée et parfois, ils développaient une infection respiratoire. Les électrolytes et une variété de différents traitements ne semblaient pas fonctionner, incluant de changer la quantité de lait et la fréquence des repas. Du lait entier et du lait de remplacement ont été utilisés pour voir s’il y aurait une différence. À ce moment-là, environ 90 % des veaux tomberaient malades et 60 % mourraient. Les veaux Jerseys semblaient plus sujets à la maladie comparativement à ceux qui étaient croisés avec les Holsteins et les Jerseys étaient le plus souvent ceux qui étaient malades.

Après un peu de recherche, nous avons trouvé l’idée d’essayer l’huile de noix de coco. La décision fut prise après avoir regardé le profil de gras du lait et découvrant que les veaux ne recevaient peut-être pas assez d’énergie avec le lait entier ou le lait de replacement. Nous avons débuté avec l’huile de noix de coco liquide, en ajoutant

Après quelques jours, il était évident que l’huile de noix de coco faisait une grande différence. Nous sommes passés d’avoir à traiter 90 % des veaux à en traiter environ 10 %. Le fumier des veaux est passé de très liquide à solide et le taux de mortalité est descendu à 2 %. Lorsque les veaux recevaient de l’huile de noix de coco et avaient besoin de traitement, ils réagissaient mieux au médicament. Nous avons commandé un lait de remplacement sur mesure où l’huile de noix de coco étaient déjà ajoutée et celui-ci fonctionnait tout aussi bien que d’ajouter l’huile manuellement aux bouteilles.

La science derrière l’huile de noix de coco et qui fait que ça aide les veaux est que c’est un acide gras à chaine moyenne. Une importante source d’énergie du lait provient des acides gras. Ces acides gras sont dans le lait dans des globules qui sont absorbées par le veau pour lui fournir de l’énergie. Ce sont des acides gras à chaîne courte, moyenne et longue selon la longueur de la chaîne carbonée.

Les acides gras à chaîne moyenne se retrouvent en plus grandes quantités dans le lait Jersey entier comparativement au lait entier Holstein. Ces acides gras à

Les acides gras à chaîne longue demandent des enzymes du pancréas pour pouvoir être absorbés pour de l’énergie. Chez un veau nouveau-né, le pancréas ne secrète pas ces enzymes avant l’âge de deux semaines. Donc, si le lait qui est donné au veau est composé en majorité par des acides gras à chaîne longue, le veau ne sera pas capable de les utiliser comme source d’énergie.

Les laits de remplacement sont typiquement formulés en utilisant du gras animal comme source principale de gras. Le gras animal est composé d’un haut pourcentage d’acides gras à chaîne longue donc, même si le veau reçoit un reçoit une quantité adéquate de lait de remplacement, il aura peine à assimiler la majorité du gras. En plus, il semble que les acides gras à chaîne moyenne ont aussi des propriétés antimicrobiennes et aident la réponse immunitaire du veau, ce qui expliquerait pourquoi les veaux répondent mieux aux traitements lorsqu’ils reçoivent de l’huile de noix de coco.

Plus un veau a accès à des acides gras à chaîne moyenne dans les deux premières semaines de sa vie, plus il aura un avantage sur les autres veaux qui ne reçoivent pas assez de ces acides gras. Si vous avez de la difficulté à garder vos veaux en santé, il serait bénéfique d’essayer d’ajouter de l’huile de noix de coco à la ration des veaux Jerseys.

«Notre but est toujours de nous améliorer où nous le pouvons sur notre ferme. Améliorer les soins aux animaux est une de nos plus grandes priorités. Depuis que nous avons commencé à élever des Jerseys, nous avons toujours eu de la difficulté avec nos veaux dans leurs premiers 21 jours de vie. Si nous pouvions passer à travers cette période, c’était gagné et nous nous dirigions vers le succès. Nous avons entendu parler de l’huile de noix de coco lors d’une présentation à l’assemblée annuelle 2022 de Jersey Canada et après plusieurs discussions, nous avons décidé de l’essayer sur nos prochains veaux. Ma mère a rapidement remarqué une différence. Il semblait y avoir moins de hoquet et les veaux étaient plus solides dans leurs premiers jours. Nous avons continué à l’utiliser sur tous nos veaux Jerseys pour leurs 21 premiers jours. Nous avons toujours quelques problèmes de santé mais depuis que nous avons commencé à utiliser l’huile de noix de coco, les veaux semblent mieux gérer le stress et combattent mieux ce qui les accable. L’huile de noix de coco est ici pour rester dans notre programme de gestion des veaux!!»

Payneside Farms Experiencing Benefits

with CowManager® Payneside Farms fait l’expérience des bénéfices de CowManager®

Written by/Écrit par Claire Swale, Marketing Content Manager, Select Sires

Doug and Jill Robinson are owners of Payneside Farms Inc in Finch, Ontario. Milking 100 Jerseys through two Robots in a freestall system, they installed CowManager 5 years ago.

"We were looking for a management tool that could make a difference to our farm and family" says Doug. "Now we wouldn't be without it".

“We quickly discovered just how much added information the system provided, heats were being detected quickly and accurately and we were identifying cows as they were getting sick, rather than when they were sick”.

costs. “It’s taken a lot of guesswork out of heat detection, clearly identifying cows in heat and giving us the optimum breeding window for inseminations” says Doug. “It’s a 24 hour service, catching every cow in heat, even when we don’t see the tell-tale visible signs- it’s saving us time and money”.

Doug is quick to recognize the benefits and the simplicity of the system. Since installing CowManager they have notably reduced their vet bills by utilising and trusting the Health Module. CowManager notifies “health alerts” typically 12 to 24 hours before cows

ings in the health and reproduction of their dairy herd.

Focused on the future of dairy farming and striving for efficiency and profitability, Payneside Farms continue to utilize CowManager, to create a farming system that best serves their animals, the industry and their family.

To learn more about CowManager® visit selectsires.com/products/cowmanager.

All the milking cows, dry cows, and heifers ready for breeding at Payneside have CowManager ear sensors in. The sensors measure ear temperature, combined with eating, rumination, and activity patterns, all this information is utilized in the Fertility, Health and Nutrition Modules the programme provides.

Real-time data collected through the ear sensors is relayed through a router and readily accessible through their computer, or through the app on their phones every minute of the day.

Since installing CowManager, they really appreciate the accuracy of the Fertility Module, and have seen pregnancy rates improve while reducing semen

display clinical symptoms, making treatment a lot easier and more successful. “With CowManager you catch sick cows earlier, we might treat a cow with aspirin or pro-biotics, but early intervention usually prevents the problem getting worse or the need for antibiotics, it also allows us to track and monitor their recovery”.

CowManager has been a great investment for the Robinson family at Payneside. As a family of four, they all have the app on their phones, allowing each of them to access the most current information and receive alerts. It’s freed up more time for them as a family and has allowed them to make valuable sav-

Doug et Jill Robinson sont les propriétaires de Payneside Farms Inc. à Finch, Ontario. Ils traient 100 Jerseys avec deux robots dans un système à stabulation libre et ont installé CowManager il y a 5 ans.

« Nous cherchions un outil de gestion qui ferait la différence pour notre ferme et notre famille » dit Doug. « Maintenant, nous ne nous en passerions pas. »

« Nous avons vite découvert combien d’informations additionnelles nous étaient fournies par le système. Les chaleurs étaient détectées rapidement et efficacement et nous pouvions identifier les vaches qui se sentaient moins bien plutôt que de nous en apercevoir quand elles étaient malades. »

Chez Payneside, toutes les vaches en lactation, les vaches taries et les génisses prêtes à être saillies ont une puce d’oreille CowManager. Ces puces mesurent la température de l’oreille, combinée avec les cycles d’alimentation, de rumination et d’activité. Toute cette

“It’s a 24 hour service, catching every cow in heat, even when we don’t see the tell-tale visible signs- it’s saving us time and money”.

information est utilisée dans les modules de Fertilité, Santé et Alimentation fournie par le programme.

Les données en temps réel sont recueillies par les puces d’oreilles et sont relayées par un routeur et accessible facilement par ordinateur ou via l’application sur leur téléphone en tout temps. Depuis l’installation de CowManager, ils apprécient vraiment l’exactitude du module de fertilité et ont vu leur taux de gestation s’améliorer tout en réduisant leurs coûts de semence. « Ça enlevé beaucoup de d’estimation et d’approximation du travail de détection des chaleurs, identifiant clairement les vaches en chaleur et nous donnant une fenêtre optimale d’accouplement pour les inséminations » dit Doug.

Doug reconnaît rapidement les bénéfices et la simplicité du système. Depuis l’installation de CowManager, ils ont réduit significativement leur facture de vétérinaire en utilisant et en faisant confiance au module santé. CowMan -

ager signale les ‘alertes santé’ typiquement 12 à 24 heures avant que la vache ne démontre de symptômes cliniques, rendant les traitements plus faciles et plus réussis. « Avec CowManager, vous détectez les vaches malades plus rapidement. Nous pouvons soit traiter la vache avec de l’aspirine ou des probiotiques et une intervention rapide prévient habituellement que le problème ne s’empire ou ne demande d’antibiotique mais il nous permet de bien suivre la récupération. »

CowManager fut un bon investissement pour la famille Robinson de Payneside. Comme famille de quatre, ils ont tous l’application sur leur télé -

phone, permettant à chacun d’accéder aux plus récentes informations et de recevoir les alertes. Ça a libéré du temps pour eux comme famille et leur permet de faire des économies appréciables dans la santé et la reproduction de leur troupeau laitier.

Misant sur l’avenir de l’industrie laitière et visant l’efficacité et la profitabilité, Payneside Farms continue d’utiliser CowManager pour créer un système agricole qui sert l’intérêt de leurs animaux, de l’industrie et de leur famille.

DairyComp is a key tool to help us collect data for our advisors in a familiar format. Our nutritionist can track 4, 8, and 10-week milk trends to analyze lactation curves and analyzing our first lactations tell us how effective our heifer rearing has been.”

Remembering Charles Gurney

Written by Steve Gurney

Charlie was a very proud partner in Llolyn Farms from a young boy to their dispersal in 1999 and his subsequent retiring from the farming operation in 2019. He greatly enjoyed his involvement in the Jersey breed and all the friends and opportunities that arose from it. From his presidency of the Ontario Club in 1998 to his two trips to Brazil, one to judge and one to educate, to the World Jersey trip to Australia and New Zealand to their 50th anniversary sale at the farm to helping his children and all of his nieces and nephews show calves across Ontario at

local shows, 4-H events and the Royal. He was also well remembered as a 4-H leader for 29 years and was a strong role model during that time.

Charlie found enjoyment not only from Jerseys and leading and mentoring others but also in restoring antique John Deere tractors, trips to Florida with Gayle and the accomplishments of his extended family.

He will be greatly missed by all those he came into contact with over the years but we can take comfort in the fact that he left a lasting impression on us all.

En souvenir de Charles Gurney

par Steve Gurney

Charlie était fier partenaire de Llolyn Farms depuis qu’il était jeune homme jusqu’à la dispersion en 1999 et de sa retraite subséquente de l’agriculture en 2019. Il a grandement apprécié son engagement dans la race Jersey, et les amis et opportunités qui en sont découlés. De sa présidence du club de l’Ontario en 1998 jusqu’à ses deux voyages au Brésil, un pour juger et un pour éduquer, à son voyage pour la conférence World Jersey en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande en passant par la vente 50e anniversaire à la ferme et l’aide apportée à ses enfants et tous ses neveux et nièces pour présenter

des veaux aux expositions locales en Ontario, les événements 4-H et la Royale. Il fut aussi un leader 4-H apprécié pendant 29 ans et mentor pendant ces années.

Charlie était heureux auprès des Jerseys et en aidant les autres mais aussi en restaurant des tracteurs antiques John Deere, en voyageant en Floride avec Gayle et se réjouissait des accomplissements de sa famille élargie.

Il manquera grandement à tous ceux avec qui il a été en contact au fil des ans mais nous nous réconfortons de l’empreinte qu’il a laissée en chacun de nous.

Charles Elwin Gurney passed away surrounded by his family, at home on the farm, on Tuesday January 10, 2023, in his 80th year. Beloved husband to Gayle (née Peterson) for 53 years; loved dad to Steven and Wendy; Cherished Grandpa to Ben, Isaac and grand-dog Murphy; Dear Brother to the late Muriel McCullough (2011) (Wayne), Robert (Theresa), Wayne (Donna), Reg (Judy), Glen (Debby), and the late Nancy Turnbull (2000). Also survived by cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Lloyd and Evelyn.

When was your farm established?

Arjan and I first started Hoften Farms in 2016. Our first Farm Star prefix Jersey was born January 2014, and still milking in the herd today.

How many cows are you milking and what percentage Jersey?

40 cows, 90% are either pure or half Jersey. We have two pure Ayrshires in our herd as well.

What were some of the reasons you choose to milk Jerseys?

Components was reason #1. But after milking them we realized they not only are excellent at components but also have great longevity, are exceptionally efficient at converting feed to butterfat, have good feet and legs, and good reproduction. Their personality and strength of character also won us over. Jerseys are very maternal cows, with hearts of gold and we are in love with everything about them.

Where did you purchase your first Jerseys from?

Lone Pine Jerseys

Growth of Jerseys in Western Canada

After a record breaking 2021, registry activity in the 4 Western provinces saw 2008 animals registered in the Jersey Canada herdbook. This number is the 2nd highest Western total in the modern era, and continues a growth trend in the West which shows a 10-year Average Annual Growth Rate of 4.4%, 47% more than the national average and leading all regions. This growth is reflected in transfer activity as well, which shows a 27% AAGR over 10 years. Much of this growth can be attributed to young farmers who have either entered the industry through a new entrant program or recently started out on their own. We asked some of these farmers why they decided to milk jerseys.

Saint Claude, Manitoba

When was your farm established? 1969

How many cows are you milking and what percentage Jersey?

100 cows total, 56 Jerseys and should be entirely Jerseys in 2-2.5 years

What were some of the reasons you choose to milk Jerseys?

We decided to switch to Jerseys mainly for the size of the animal. Our milk barn facility is quite old so, alley size and stall dimensions are too small for Holsteins. We were being penalized on our cattle assessments for hock scores. My theory is/was, if I can take a cow that produces on average slightly less (Jersey) and put it in a barn more suitable to its size and keep the level of cow comfort higher, it should be able to achieve the same production as a Holstein(which on average produces a little more) in a environment where the cow is slightly more uncomfortable.

Where did you purchase your first Jerseys from?

We purchased five of our first Jerseys from Chimewood Jerseys (Gerry and Anita Norrish) about five years ago to try them out. Early summer of 2022 we purchased almost all of Chimewood's milking cows. We have also made a handshake deal to purchase all of their youngstock as well. Gerry and Anita have been absolutely wonderful to work with throughout this deal.

When was your farm established?

In the 1980s in Ontario and relocated to Manitoba in 2017 where we started milking Jerseys.

How many cows are you milking and what percentage Jersey?

Milking +/- 120, 100% purebred registered Jerseys

What were some of the reasons you choose to milk Jerseys?

The main reason was in our barn, the stall lengths do not provide enough lounge room for Holsteins and alley ways are more narrow. The concrete is best suited for a small breed cow. So the easiest fix was to go milk Jerseys in Manitoba. Feed conversion into milk and butterfat is the best of most breeds. Eating 70 % of what a Holstein needs in a day is definite savings!

Where did you purchase your first Jerseys from?

From several farms across the USA. Some closer to home in Manitoba from Clanman Jerseys and the Dorlyn herd from Ontario.

Striving for Environmental Efficiency with Jerseys

By: Eric Baumann, M.SC., Director, Leeds-Grenville

size, high producing cows require less energy for maintenance per kg of milk, which reduces the carbon footprint for each kg milk. There are several factors that have influenced the increase in productivity, chiefly advances in genetics and management, which has shifted from pastoral based systems to the feeding of carefully balanced total-mixed rations.

As the effects of climate change generate headlines around the world, increasing attention is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining productivity. The dairy industry faces the delicate challenge of continuing to increase productivity while limiting resource consumption. Advancements in the dairy industry over the last 70 years have already drastically altered the environmental footprint associated with milk production. The carbon footprint (measured in CO2 equivalents) associated with the production of 1 billion kg of milk in 2007 was only 37% of the footprint to produce the same quantity of milk in 1944, and while the CO2 equivalents produced per cow doubled from 1944 to 2007, the CO2 equivalents per kg of milk produced have been reduced by over 60% (Capper et al., 2009).

The biggest driver for these improvements in environmental efficiency is the increase in milk yield per cow, which gives rise to the “dilution of maintenance”effect, namely that while energy required for maintenance is the same for low producing and high producing cows of similar

The Jersey breed has a distinct advantage for efficiency because a higher percentage of energy intake is used for production and less energy is lost for processes such as maintenance. Though milk yield for Jerseys is lower compared to Holsteins, energy intake is also significantly lower, and kg of energy- corrected milk (ECM) per kg of dry matter intake and kg of ECM per kg of liveweight are significantly higher for Jerseys (Kristensen et al., 2015). When examining the breed effect on the carbon footprint associated with cheese production, the three most important factors are body weight, milk yield and milk composition, with lower body weight, higher milk yield and higher components being favourable. In a comparison of Jerseys and Holsteins for cheese production which accounted for the different requirements of each breed in metrics such as the number of animals and land mass required, as well as amount

of waste produced, it was estimated that using Jerseys to produce cheese would reduce the carbon footprint by 20% (Capper and Cady, 2012). The efficiency advantage that the Jersey breed has could be due to anatomical differences, whereby the weight of the gastro-intestinal tract as a proportion of total bodyweight is higher in Jerseys than in Holsteins (Beecher et al., 2014). This indicates that a higher percentage of a Jersey cow’s bodyweight is tied to the digestive process and would explain why Jerseys are able to consume a higher percentage of their bodyweight in feed and could explain why Jersey need less energy for maintenance as a proportion of total energy requirement. Interestingly, the weight of the heart and lungs as a percentage of total bodyweight is also higher for Jerseys in a manner similar to that of high- performance athletes.

As we keep an eye on carbon emissions, it is important to be aware of strategies for further improvement, with continued increases in production and feed efficiency being obvious goals. A growing body of research suggests that Jerseys are a suitable choice in the search for environmentally friendly dairy cows due to their smaller frame size, higher milk component percentages and unique anatomy.

2022 Eastern Canada Field Report

By: Natasha Mckillop, Atlantic Extension Business Partner,

Canada

Greetings from the East Coast! I’m glad to say that 2022 was a great year and it brought with it many highlights!

First, I would like to say thank you to Jersey Canada and their crew for allowing me to help out at your 2022 National Show at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with your enthusiastic and talented team! It was also a great opportunity to connect with many Jersey breeders and enthusiasts from across the country!

In the Atlantic Region we are continuing to encourage growth and collaboration between dairy breed organizations. The New Brunswick Holstein Branch hosted our first ever jointbranch picnic, which had an open invitation to all dairy cattle breeders and industry members. The event, held in Sussex, New Brunswick, saw over 150 participants come together to celebrate the dairy industry with an afternoon of good food and fun!

This year also saw the return of Jerseys to Old Home Week (Charlottetown, PEI) after over 30 years of absence, much to the delight of spectators. We also had a very special addition to the dairy education area this year, with the acquisition of our very own Jersey ‘selfie cow’. She quickly became the star attraction, with many members of the public pausing to take their picture with her!

As your Holstein Canada partner in Field Service, I would like to take a moment to congratulate Jersey Canada on another strong year of registration and membership activity, and to also thank the members, breeders and enthusiasts that continue to support the Association, the breed, and the value of Jersey Canada services.

For this coming year I plan to continue to collaborate with Jersey Atlantic to cultivate growth and interest in the Jersey Breed in the Atlantic, support them in their upcoming activities and explore ways to best support our breeders within the region.

I’m extremely excited to see what lies ahead for 2023 and for the opportunity to continue to work with Jersey Canada to support and promote the Jersey Breed!

Until next time, Tasha
