Dixieland Jersey Sires

Track Record
Our goal is to accelerate genetic improvement for milk yield, protein and functional type. The bulls we sample all have solid cow families behind them. And, because inbreeding is becoming a larger issue throughout the dairy industry, we are sampling four Genetic Diversity program bulls.

Royalties paid to date are approaching $150,000. Each accounting "pool" includes bulls which received their third USDA sire summary in that calendar year. The pools, bulls and their year-to-date royalties are shown in the table below.
