Animal Recording Services

Animal identification is the heart and soul of making a profit in today's dairy business. But just giving an inventory number to each cow and heifer won't unlock their profit potential.

For the power to make matings that maximize lifetime profitability while controlling inbreeding, you need ancestry. For that, you need the services delivered by the American Jersey Cattle Association.
