JX Den-Kel Medalist Jinger {4}-ET(pictured above), a member of the milking string at Den-Kel Jerseys in Byron, NY, has produced a record that ranks among the Jersey breed’s best for 2019.

The six-year-old produced 36,130 lbs. milk, 2,122 lbs. fat and 1,232 lbs. protein in 305 days on twice daily milking. On a cheese yield basis, production is 4,257 lbs. The record ranks first for milk, third for protein and cheese and seventh for fat among 305-day records produced by Registered Jerseys in 2019.

“Jinger {4}” is owned by Kip A. Keller, who owns and operates Den-Kel Jerseys LLC with his wife, Katie, and their family.

The Empire State has long been home to outstanding Jersey youth. In the 2018 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest, five young New York Jersey breeders ranked among the top 10 in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest. Two youth received 2019 AJCA scholarships in the pursuit of their higher education in the dairy industry, and two placed among the top 10 in the 2018 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. To learn more about these young people and opportunities in youth programs, please see our Juniors page.

We send a special thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2019 Annual Meetings of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. such a resounding success.

It was a lot of hard work, but worth every minute of the event, held right here in the Empire State in Saratoga Springs!

We want to thank the meeting committee (pictured below), host farms, sponsors and each member who lent a hand in some manner.

We’d also like to extend an appreciation to everyone who traveled to celebrate the Jersey cow with us in the Empire State. We look forward to seeing you once again in 2020, when Jersey breeders from Oregon host the event in Portland.
