American Jersey Cattle Association

To Improve and Promote

The American Jersey Cattle Association compiles and maintains animal identification and performance data on Jersey cattle and provides services that support genetic improvement and greater profitability through increasing the value of and demand for Registered Jersey™ cattle and genetics, and Jersey milk and milk products.

The association was organized in 1868 and is the oldest dairy breed association in the U.S. The AJCA has 2,107 active members (May, 2016) and provides services to over 3,000 Jersey dairy farmers each year. The membership elects a 12-person Board of Directors and President.

The marketing arm of the AJCA is National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) and its subsidiary, All-Jersey Sales Corporation (AJSC). NAJ, which at the end of 2016 had 1,042 members, has its own Board of Directors.

Policy, programs, and services for all three organizations are carried out by a 40-person paid staff under the direction of the Executive Secretary & Chief Executive Officer.
