A New Look at Jersey Weekend in Louisville for 2022

A New Look to Jersey Weekend in Louisville for 2022

Anew schedule for the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) was the topic of all committees for the 2022 planning meeting for the All American Jersey events.

For the second consecutive year, Jersey breeders, North American International Livestock Exposition staff and USJersey staff were able to meet via Zoom conference calls from March 2-4, 2022, to plan the 69th edition of The All American Jersey Shows and Sales. This year it will be four days of All Jerseys, All the Time in Louisville, Ky., on November 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2022.

The 2021 All American was an event to remember, with large shows, successful sales, and a full crowd once again ringside. Combined, the 2021 All American shows were the largest exhibition of Jerseys in the world. Total animals through the ring were 421 in the open show and National Jersey Jug Futurity, plus 247 head exhibited by 163 youth in the junior show. The Pot O’Gold Sale again offered a strong group of 26 production-bred, all genotyped heifers with an average of $3,740.38 followed by the highly successful All American Sale of 65 lots averaging $7,909.62 and gross sales of $514,125.

Fifty-seven committee members engaged in discussion in four committees through Zoom meetings. The three days of meetings were called to order by General Chair, Aaron Horst, Chambersburg, Pa. Attending members also heard from NAILE officials Bobby Bell and Dan Grigson as well as Executive Secretary Neal Smith.
