While the AJCA's Constitutional mission is "to improve and promote the Jersey breed," the objective is to make owning Jerseys more profitable than owning any other breed of dairy cattle. Today's record-breaking levels of Jersey production and owner satisfaction are, in large part, a function of the Association's genetic improvement tools and programs.
