Miniature Jersey Herd Book & Registry
Our mission is to grow, preserve, protect and record the lineages and numbers of the 7/8ths pure+ miniature and mid-sized Jersey cattle in the USA as well as Internationally, for future generations.
We also want to foster relationships between these cattle and the people who desire to help further this breed of homestead dairy cattle with good animal husbandry techniques and stewardship. The purpose of this Herd Book is to help owners and breeders acquire information quickly and efficiently, as well as attracting new owners to this breed of homestead dairy cows. As older herds are expanded and new herds are established, the numbers will grow rapidly...filling the homestead farm with these smaller sized "milkers". These pages will offer help and information for the novice as well as seasoned breeders. Together, we will be able to build on the older established bloodlines, while infusing the future for this magnificent breed with new and exciting bloodlines yet to be created!
Resources
The Miniature Jersey Herd Book and Registry website is a tool that I use daily. The records are backed by DNA testing which makes them accurate. No other miniature jersey registry offer such a complete and trusted record of our little cows.
MJHB is a verified ancestry database for my mini Jersey cows. I love that all the cows are DNA verified and pictured in the Herd Book - a wonderful and much needed resource!
Mini Miracles Farm was fortunate to be one of the earlier members of MJHB&R. At the time we joined we were at a turning point in our breeding program and were experiencing difficulties in tracking pedigrees. The Herd Book encouraged DNA testing which revealed that more than one of our animals did not carry the bloodlines represented on their registration papers.
The work and dedication that has been put into this registry is outstanding. The records are kept up to date as new information is uncovered and new calves are born. The MJHB&R is above all others will take the miniature jersey cow into the future.
I have only my single cow registered in the Herd Book, but I love to look at the cattle photos of others! I do believe in factual reporting and great service. The MJHB has both! The Herd Book gets all my business because of their passion for this breed.
We appreciate the commitment to excellence and support recent efforts and recommendations about disease testing. We look to the MJHB&R website for the latest in testing options, suggestions and general information that may help us improve our herd’s health and quality.
‘The Miniature Jersey Herd book and Registry – everything you wanted to know about miniature Jersey’s, but were afraid to ask! Seriously, no other miniature cattle registry offers the dedication, accuracy and prompt, personal service as the MJHB. And I have yet to find a website with such a variety of needful information for the small cow owner, breeder or enthusiast.’
The Miniature Jersey Herd Book is simply the best resource for information pertaining to the miniature Jersey cattle. Whether you’re interested in viewing pedigree lineage, purchasing qualified semen to AI your mini or post your cattle for sale this site has it all. I especially like viewing the hundreds of photos of registered cattle. The aspect I like the best about the MJHB & R is that it takes registering your miniature Jersey cattle seriously, using DNA testing to verify the bloodlines. No other registry for the miniature Jersey cattle does this! As a newbie, I would have been lost without this valuable resource!
