By Leah James, U.S. Jersey Marketing Advisor, Genex This July, Genex and the Jersey Journal teamed up to bring you a special issue of the Jersey Journal highlighting the Genex story and promoting the growth of the Jersey breed. Along with it, we held a contest for youth with Jersey interests. Youth ages 8 to 21 were asked to answer the question, “How does the next Jersey Generation look in your eyes?” We received some great entries and would like to share the winning entries with you!

“I have bought my own registered Jerseys, and I love showing them! I honestly wouldn't change anything about the next Jersey generation. I love Jerseys just the way they are - their personality is hilarious, they are super fun to be around, they are gorgeous, and they need to be more recognized by farmers! Many farmers don't appreciate Jerseys because they are all into them big ol’ Holsteins! I feel like the next Jersey generation should be more popular. Farmers need to realize how important Jerseys really are. They are very beautiful creatures and need to be in every herd all over the U.S.”
Congratulations and thanks for participating! #TheJerseyGeneration
