Jerseys are the fastest growing breed in the United States. No wonder, as multiple studies indicate that Jersey is the breed for efficiency and bottom-line profitability. The Jersey population in the US is growing by about 18% per year.

But Jerseys aren’t just a popular breed in the US. CRV is excited to tap into the best Jersey genetics from all around the world. With varying breeding goals and bloodlines, you can pick & choose which Jersey fits your herd the best.

Jerseys are unique, the calves have a small birth weight, on average about 60 pounds. In general Jerseys have easy births, the difficult birth rate is less than 1%, this means that the calves have a good start. It is possible to breed Jerseys at a younger age and to get them in to the milking herd sooner, because the heifers reach sexual maturity earlier in life.
