o Mr Barrett that we regularly raised issues and concerns however genomics while a far superior and more reliable assessment of young bulls it is still full proof.
o Lack of data is also an issue as genomic is only as good as the data in the system.
▪ Herd testing is dropping off reducing available productions data.
▪ Health and management data is not sufficiently recorded or provided.
▪ Different data system has different levels of connectivity or limitations on what can be provided to the Central Data Repository.
Value Proposition of Registered Cattle
• Anthea Day raised concern about whether registering cows still retained a value proposition noting classification was the only value proposition for their business to continue to engage.
Strategic Planning
• Lisa Broad queried where the Association was at with its strategic plan and will the members have an opportunity to review and have input into the plan.
• Mr Akers advised the meeting that the Association is in the process of updating its strategic plan and would expect that the Board will be sending information to the members for comment in the coming months.

Presidents Report: Geoff Akers
The 2025/26 year has been a significant and active period for Jersey Australia, with the Board and management continuing to pursue opportunitiestopromotetheAustralianJersey and strengthen the breed’s position both domesticallyandinternationally.
The 2025 Annual General Meeting was successfully conducted online, with the Board convening at the Bundoora office. This format enabled strong member participation despite many being engaged in the World Jersey Conference 2025 held in April.
The World Jersey Conference was a standout achievement for the year. Delivered over 16 days, the event brought together Jersey breeders and industry participants from across the globe. Sincere thanks are extended to Glen, Jane, and the organising team for their exceptional commitmentinplanningand delivering a seamless and professional program. Appreciationisalsoextendedto the many members who generously opened their farms and herds, showcasing the Australian Jersey to an internationalaudienceatthehigheststandard. Feedback from delegates was overwhelmingly positive,andtheconferencegeneratedorders for approximately 40,000 doses of Australian Jerseysemen an
excellent outcome and a strong endorsement of thebreed.
Following the successful launch of the new classification program in spring 2024, a comprehensive independent review was undertaken in 2025. The program has been widelyregardedasasuccess,withrefinements identified through the review implemented ahead of the spring 2025 tour. Delivering a complex ITprojectontime andwithinbudget, while meeting member expectations, representsasignificantachievementfor theorganisation.
Jersey Australia also undertook a reviewofitson-farmcompetitions during 2025. Key considerations included member attendance at award presentations, sustainability of sponsorship, occupational health and safety concerns associated with extensive travel, and the availability of judges. As a result, the competition format was streamlined to a single Great Australian competitionwiththree classes. Judging was conducted using professionally captured video footage, improving efficiency grity. Jersey Australia acknowledges and thanks Genetics Australia for its commitment as sponsor of the competitionforthenextthreeyears.
The Board has continued to actively promote theAustralianJerseycowbothwithinAustralia and internationally. Industry data released in
JERSEY AUSTRALIA INC | 5 Ring Road Bundoora Vic 3083
February 2026 highlights the breed’s strong and stable position, with Jerseys accounting for 17% of the Australian dairy herd and 21% ofsemensalesin2025.Thesefiguresreinforce the relevance and growing influence of the breedwithinthenationalherd.
International demand for Australian Jersey genetics remains robust. During the year, semen exports reached a wide range of markets including New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and multiple countries acrossSouthAmerica,Europe,andtheMiddle East. It is particularly encouraging to receive consistent positive feedback on the performance of Australian-bred genetics in theseenvironments.
Jersey Australia also pursued opportunities to expand the breed’s presence and value through targeted promotion and trade
engagement. This included attending the Mystery Creek Field Days in New Zealand and engaging with international partners on cattle exportopportunities.
A key milestone was the successful export of Jersey heifers to Indonesia in December 2025, following engagement with Indonesian delegations and government representatives which included dinner with the Indonesian Ambassador. This outcome was brought to fruitionthroughJerseyMarketingServices.
The broader Australian dairy industry continues to evolve,with a clear trend toward fewer but larger herds. In this environment, it is essential that Jersey Australia remains relevant, adaptive, and forward-looking. During2025,theBoardexploredopportunities for greater collaboration across the industry and is currently as recently announced undertaking due diligence in relation to potential future alignment with Holstein Australia.
I would like to acknowledge my fellow Board members, General Manager Glen Barrett, and all staff for their dedication and contribution throughout the year. Their commitment ensures that Jersey Australia remains well positioned to support its members and to advance the Australian Jersey breed into the future.
I look forward to Jersey Australia building on thisprogressintheyearahead.

General Managers Report: Glen Barrett
The 2025/26 year has been a memorable one for the Association, bookended by hosting the 2025 World Jersey Conference at the beginning of the year and concluding with setting the Association on a pathway to thrive for generations to come.
2025 World Jersey Conference
The 2025 World Jersey Conference was a cornerstone event for the Association. We welcomed and hosted 40 guests from across the globe for a comprehensive program that showcased leading farms, industry, research, and educational opportunities.
My sincere thanks go to the members who made their farms available and those who joined usat events across our regions.
To Kelsie, Peter and Rosie who’s contribution to putting this event on was vast and over above expectations, I extend my thanks and appreciation.
Jaydee Events are the consummate event management professional team and to Deanne Kennedy and John Hutchinson, we cannotthankyouenoughforyoursupportand drive who without we would not have delivered such and outstanding conference without here support
We also extend our deep appreciation to our sponsors, led by Premium Sponsor Genetics Australia and Platinum Sponsor Zoetis Australia. Your sponsorship, along with your active involvement throughout the event, was outstanding and greatlyvalued by all.
Member & Industry Services
Key services experienced mixed results across the year. Compared to the previous year:
• Cow registrations were down 10.9%
• Bull registrations increased by 56%
• Transfers increased by9%
• Total classifications rose by 1.5%, with a notable increase in 2-year-old classifications
• Exports were a significant improvement , up 146%, although still below long-term highs.
Staff
The Association cannot deliver its services without the significant efforts of our staff. I extend my thanks and appreciation to Peter and Tracey in the office, along with Rosie and Kelsie, for their tireless work throughout the year.
To our classification teams in the field, led by senior classifiers Reece and Jake your unwavering commitment to meeting the needs of the Association never goes
unnoticed. Your continuous drive to improve yourskillsanddeliverexemplaryserviceacross the country is a testament to your professionalism.
Export
Itwasencouragingtoseeanincreaseinexport heifer numbers. Jerseys played a significant role in reopening the Turkish market after more than a decade, providing valuable opportunities for Australian dairy farmers. We have also begun building a strong relationship with Indonesia, establishing the foundations for a Jersey presence in that country.
There were also several shipments to China following a very lean 12–18 months, signalling positive momentum forexport opportunities.
Throughout the year, we supported and promoted Jersey genetics in markets including Pakistan, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
Promotions and Marketing
The introduction of the Australian Dairy Breeds Journal was a significant achievement for the Association and will help ensure the longsustainability of our breed publication.
I thank members for embracing this change and continuing to support the journal through advertising.
Industry Representation
Throughout the year, the Association has maintained astrong voice forthebreedacross a number of industry committees and initiatives, including the DataGene Genetics and Data & Services Standing Committee.
The Association was a key driver in DataGene initiating a review into long-standing industry concerns regarding BPI. We look forward to the outcomes of this review and trust it will deliver greater confidence in the use of BPI across the industry.
To the Association members I extend my thanks to you for your ongoing support. Without you I don’t have the privilege of working for Jersey Australia.
Glen Barrett
General Manager
It was also a privilege to represent the Association and Australian Jerseybreeders at Field Days in New Zealand with AgriGene and Genetics Australia. The 2025 World Conference has certainly put a spotlight on Australian Jerseys, particularly within New Zealand.
Treasurers Report: Jamie Drury
The 2025/26 financial year presented significant challenges in delivering the outcomes consistently communicated to members, reinforcing the rationale for the important decisions to be considered in the comingyearregardingtheAssociation’sfuture.
Total member service revenue declined by 4% to $392,757, reflecting adverse seasonal conditions across key dairy regions that impacted memberships, registrations, and classifications. While costs continue to be closely managed, there is limited scope to reduce expenditure without fundamentally changinghowtheAssociationoperates.
Incontrast,industryservicerevenueincreased by119%to$83,733,drivenbygrowthinGinfo classifications and export activity, supported by a targeted focus on expanding project managementservices.
The 2025 World Jersey Conference was a significant investment. Although attendance fell short of expectations, the event generated a gross surplus of $73,695 after direct costs, excluding the substantial commitment of Boardandstaffresources.
Investment income rose 60% to $54,347, including a one-off recovery of $13,845 from historical AMP investments relating to unclaimed distributions dating back to 2017, due to outdated postal records following the move from Ascot Vale. Afurther$11,000from historical MLC investments has been identified, though recovery remains ongoing due to jurisdictional complexities. These gains were partially offset by a decline in capital value.
During the year, circumstances beyond the Association’s control required a transition in investment management, with the move from AMPtoanewadvisorandplatformnow underway.Thishasbeenapositiveoutcomein analysis and investment structure that will provide security of investments, return and regular incomewhenneededfortheassociation.”
The Board remains committed to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Association without continued erosion of its investment base. In a rapidly changing dairy environment, our standalone options are limited to increasing member charges or reducing services bothundesirableoutcomes.
The proposed changes with Holstein Australia provide a clear pathway to financial sustainability, delivering synergies and efficiencies that avoid these trade-offs while enablingtheAssociationtocontinueproviding valuedservicesandopportunitiestomembers.

It is my pleasure to present the Chair of Geneticsreportfortheyear2025/2026
Classification System and Implementation
The new linear-driven and four-trait group classification system, developed by Goldstar and Jersey Australia, has completed its first year of use in the field by our classification team. Both classifiers and members of the association have provided positive and constructive feedback. A comprehensive data review was conducted, leading to minor adjustments to mammary weightings and defectpenalties.
Over the past year, the classification team appraised and provided initial and updated scores to 6500 cows across the year with an 18% increase in first-lactation heifers being a big positive. This is a significant achievement, and I extend my thanks to Jersey Australia members for submitting their two-year-olds for appraisal. These evaluations greatly enhance the reliability of bull proofs and genomicpredictions.
A Classifications Training and Reference Guide is in its final stages of development and will serve as an invaluable resource for both thecurrentclassificationteamandthetraining offutureclassifiers.
IamalsopleasedtowelcomeDarienMathews totheclassificationpanelandthanktheentire teamfortheirongoingdedication.
National Breeding Objective (NBO) 2025
The National Breeding Objective 2025, conducted by DataGene with input from industry and member groups, has been finalised and implemented. The NBO is reviewed everyfiveyearsand thekeyupdates include:
• Adjustingtheprotein-to-fatratioto1:1
• Incorporating forecast milk prices into evaluations
• Updating the genetic base to the 2020 population and rolling it on a five-year cycle
The base rolled showed Jerseys had delivered significant genetics gain in milk litres, somatic cell count, survival and Feed saved over the last 10 years with key traits like fertility remaining static not losing or gaining over the period.
Genetic Evaluations and ABV Updates
The April ABV release introduced new and revised composites for Jersey type. The updated mammary composite, formulated using trait scores from the new classification system, has enabled the recalculation of both historical and current type data. As a result, top ABV sires are now positioned at 115 for overalltypeand117formammarytraits.
The December 2025 proof run implemented several index changes, resulting in a major reranking of sires. Breeders and users are encouraged to take time to evaluate these changes, remembering that breeding objectives and indices should be used as guidesaligned withindividualherd goals.
Industry Outlook
The Jersey breed continues to strengthen its presence in the national herd, with growing international interest in semen exports - a positivesignforthebreed’sglobalreputation. I extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Genetics Sub-Committee and the Board of Directors for their commitment and valued contributionsoverthepastyear.

Promotions Report: Jane Sykes
What a year it has been for promotions at JerseyAustralia.
It seems a long time ago now, but we begin by reflecting on April last year, when Jersey Australia proudly hosted the World Jersey Cattle Bureau tour. The tour commenced in Victoria and travelled through Gippsland, the Western District, Northern Victoria, and into New South Wales, before concluding at the Sydney Royal Show.
Key events along the way included the Central Gippsland Fair, the Jersey Australia Annual Awards Dinner, and the Royal Sydney Show. These were complemented by herd visits, industry engagements such as Ellinbank and AgriBio, and a range of tourism experiences. Approximately 40 international visitors experienced and enjoyed Australia’s Jersey industry and our outstanding cattle.
I would like to sincerely thank all members who engaged with the tour, particularly those whohostedfarmvisits.Aspecialmentionmust go to the Bega Valley community interest and engagement at Emma and Aaron Salway farm visit were exceptional.
Annual Awards Night
The Annual Awards Dinner was another highlight, with two new inductees into Master Breeder status. Congratulationsto:
• Darryn Hourigan (Darrynvale Jerseys, Milawa)
• Trevor Saunders and Anthea Day (Araluen Park Jerseys, Shady Creek)
We also proudly presented our first-ever Emerging Breeder Award to Rodney and Stephanie Goode from Gippsland an exciting addition recognising the next generation of breeders.
Additionally, we welcomed 12 Elite Brood Cows to our expanding list. Congratulations to all award recipients.
Mystery Creek Field Days (NZ)
Jersey Australia attended the Mystery Creek Field Days in New Zealand alongside Genetics Australia and Agri Gene. Glen Barrett and Con Glennan represented the association.
Feedback highlighted strong interest not only fromtheregisteredJerseysectorbutalsofrom the broader New Zealand dairy industry an encouraging sign for future engagement opportunities.
Australian Jersey Journal Transition
This year marked a significant change in the format of the Australian Jersey Journal. This decision was driven by several factors: Ongoing financial pressure, with declining advertising revenue and rising production costs
• Difficulty reaching a sustainable breakeven point
• Content fatigue, with increasing duplication across industry publications
In addition, industry trends show more herds operating with multiple breeds, influencing how information is consumed.
As a result, Jersey Australia partnered with Holstein Australia to launch a new quarterly publication: the Australian Dairy Breeds Journal. Invitations were extended to all dairy breeds, and we are pleased to have Aussie Reds and Brown Swiss join the initiative.
Thiscollaborationpositionsthepublicationfor stronger long-term sustainability and broader industry reach.
Calendar
The future of the Jersey Australia calendar remains uncertain.
While currently marginally profitable, declining advertiser numbers particularly due to industry exits pose a significant risk. We cannot continue the publication if it operates at a loss.
Members interested in advertising are encouraged to contact the office early to registertheirinterest.However,noguarantees can be made regarding the calendar’s continuation.
Great Southern / Great Northern Challenge (GSC/GNC)
I congratulate all the winners of the 2025 St Genetics Great Australian Challenges with Bushlea Irwins Jenny taking out Champion Cow
Many thanks to Simon Tognola and Fiona Hanks for their outstanding work in bringing this competition together
The Great Southern and Great Northern Challengeshaveundergonemajorchangesthis year.
Firstly, we acknowledge and thank our former sponsor ST Genetics and welcome Genetics Australia as our new sponsor.
The revised competition format has been the subject of extensive Board discussion. While we recognise some concern from members, these changes were made to ensure the longterm viabilityof the program.
Challenges in recent years have included:
• Difficulty sourcingjudges
• Clubs strugglingto meet timeframes
• Decliningclub participation
• Increasing OH&S and legal considerations.
Membersareencouragedtoembracethenew format, and we wish all competitors in the Great Australian Competition the very best.
International DairyWeek (IDW)

Overall, the past year has been one of significant activity and important transition in how we promote the Jersey breed.
While some changes have been necessary, they position Jersey Australia to remain relevant,sustainable,andeffectiveinarapidly evolving dairy industry. Our focus remains clear promoting the Jersey cow, supporting our members, and ensuring the strength and visibility of the breed into the future.
