JerseyGenome™ News

 

“Since registering our Lynrich Jersey herd we have been able to put forward a selection of heifers into the JerseyGenome™ programme. Over the past 4 years we have had 10 – 15 heifers selected each year for JerseyGenome™ mating’s. They are contract mated for 2 years.
161 is the dam of our JG progeny, FMHM-20-420 (Lynrich Omnibus Yahoo). She is an exceptional producer with a current PW of 395 and LW of 430 for the 2020/21 season.
She is in calf to Quiz for next season and her dam was one of our best producers but unfortunately we lost her after she broke her hip after calving in 2019.
161 comes from a line of very good looking, good producing cows and we are very keen to continue her family lines. They all have great capacity and strong udders. We are hoping for a replacement heifer next year as she has given us 2 bulls so far!
We are very excited to see how Lynrich Omnibus Yahoo progresses through the JG programme and hope to have another in team in the future.”
Richard & Christine Lansdaal (Lynrich Jerseys)
