A2/A2 Purebred Miniature Jerseys Homozygous Polled Mini Jerseys family dairy cow for raw milk North Woods Homestead NWHomestead.com, PMJS PurebredMiniJerseys.com

Both our bulls are BBR93, A2/A2, & Polled Purebred Mini Jerseys.
   ​Heifer-Sexed & Conventional Straws Available.


We're sorry, NW Vanguard-PP is SOLD OUT.

Historical bull conventional straws are in VERY limited supply, possibly the last ones remaining.
Please, read the details carefully. Some are not A2/A2 or Polled. They don't meet our usual quality
threshold but are offered ​for their historical bloodlines that tie back to the original breeders,
Ralph Ainsley Martin and Riverview Farms. 
They were NOT bred by North Woods Homestead, LLC.
> We don't arrange shipping, and the fees are not included in the purchase price. <


We're proud to bring you our Top Quality Purebred Mini Jersey bulls! All are true miniaturized Jerseys with the Breed Based Representation (BBR) Genomic Test utilizing 100K alleles.  They're all A2/A2, Polled, and tested clean for anything that could infect your herd.

Our bulls have 
rib spring, depth, and width of torso. Vanguard's son, Lumberjack, has slight sickle legs and could correct the common issue of straight, posty legs.  They have correct feet and their overall conformation speaks for itself.  They're highly fertile and readily performed for collection.

Our bulls come from generations of grain-free dairy genetics. They have
​
friendly temperaments.
​

Renegade's first son is stocky, masculine, and well behaved. His first daughter is affectionate, has white patches, and is very feminine. Both have exceptional toplines, legs, and feet.

Lumberjack, being the youngest, is
unproven but his genomics speak for him for now.

*  GUARANTEED HEIFER!  If a heifer-sorted straw results in a bull calf you will be given a FREE heifer-sorted straw (with proof of original breeding.)  Shipping, storage, and AI service are not included.

​CSS Heifer-sorted straws available for South America and Canada. Contact us for the details.

RM Professor
3 Conventional Straws


Martin's Little Professor is from the early work of Ralph Martin. He was later collected and used by Fonnie Thoman of Riverview Farm. There are only these last few straws available, possibly the last anywhere. His purity is unknown but he could be the one to establish a new downsizing bloodline since he's no longer prevalent in any modern pedigrees. It's expected he will be a strong downsizing bull.

 
  • ​A1/A1, H/H
  • Thought to be a son of Martin's Simon, out of Martin's Roberta Sue. Not parentage confirmed.
  • Registrations: JEUSA000175075450, MJHB 0393, AMJA 0005
  • UC Davis VGL: NC15001
  • Not much is known about him. Though I know he was tested negative for the BD1 and BDz Condro defects, I'm unable to offer the proof because I didn't order the tests.
  • Thought to have been VERY small, possibly 34" @ 3 yrs, so you can expect Jersey purity to be low. He could be a great one for a Belfair program! (Jersey/Dexter)
  • Though his pedigree is lost to time, it will add Ralph Martin and Riverview to your pedigree, respected breeders from the beginning days of Miniature Jerseys. How cool is that?!
  • Straws will ship from HOFFMAN AI BREEDERS in Logan, UT.
  • Our other straws can ship for the same fee when you order them together.
  • Straws are not cleared for export outside the USA.​
  • Shipping is NOT included.
  • We recommend 2 straws per cow.




>> Please note, this is a HISTORICAL MINI JERSEY BULL, meaning few details are known, he's A1/A1, not Polled, and possibly a crossbred/JX bull. The poor-quality photo was lightly edited for clarity, holding coloration and proportions.
