Membership Pays!

Gain online access to records of Mini Jersey bulls known to improve purity, support in prioritizing your breeding goals, access to pooled genomic data, and educational materials.  The online pedigrees have pictures and ​genetic information.  Details are confirmed for you and reported as “verified” if documented proof has been provided to the Purebred Mini Jersey Society. ​

The value of your Membership grows with new cattle and data being added constantly.  It’s an investment in your herd. Learn to test for more than traits like A2 and Polled. Genomic Performance Reports contain DNA details to apply to your herd, like deciding which cows to retain and selecting a sire that will improve the traits of the next generation.  Network with other breeders looking to breed pure Mini Jerseys.
