Registered Jerseys

We are proud to be the country's leading Jersey herd for milk, protein and cheese yield production, a position we have held for the past three years. Our team has worked hard to achieve this feat -- one we set our eyes on about eight years ago. The 2020 herd average on an actual basis is 25,077 lbs. milk, 1,173 lbs. fat, and 931 lbs. protein, with a cheese yield equivalent of 3,125 lbs.

We milk 210 cows using four Lely robots and house them in freestall barns. The herd is enrolled on the American Jersey Cattle Association's REAP program, which provides permanent identification, type appraisals (conformation) and performance information for the herd. We also genotype the entire herd and rank among the top 25% of REAP herds for genetic merit with a herd average Jersey Performance Index of +19 (April 2021).

We always have for sale bulls, cows and heifers from our leading cow families. Contact us by email to inquire what Cinnamon Ridge genetics are available to help you improve your herd.
