Arie Reid runs a relatively small Jersey pedigree herd near Johannesburg with 120 cows of which 60 are in milk. The 17 ha land is all in pasture and Arie buys all his feed including concentrates. At the moment he is a bit overstocked, so he will select the genetically best young cows that all carry Danish/Viking Jersey genes. Recent sires who have done a great job in the herd are DJ Broiler, DJ Impuls, DJ May, DJ Lirsk and many of the heifers are by DJ Zuma. “Danish/Viking Jersey sires have given me tremendous progress over the years. The Viking sires come with detailed declaration, they are easy to combine with due to their various pedigrees and you know what you get”, Arie Reids highlights. Watch this video and learn about their experience.
