NORTH WOODS FAUNA, born 5/27/2021, registered with the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), JEUSA000174326731 {1} BBR89, Kappa Casein AB, Beta Lactoglobulin AB. Genomic tested and DNA verified to be 100% pure Jersey genetics. Fauna is going to be a Midsize or small standard Jersey, not Mini.
Sired by TDH Dino Smurf-PP, JEUSA00074EXQ9908, PMJS G01150005 41" at 2.5 yrs. His pedigree is DC Taylor's Alpha, Meadow Beauty, Riverview and Barnyard Mini bloodlines.
Her dam, through embryo collection and transfer, is NW Fern -P, 40.5" mature height, JEUSA000173188574, PMJS G01170001. Fern is on site and tested disease-free of BLV, BVD, and Johne's at over 4 yrs old. Sired by MPRR Little Firecracker, her line is to her grandsire, Eclipse (JEUSA000114845461), and Bedrock Meadows Reno. Fern was born here into our closed herd to Ruby, who is also on site and fully tested disease-free. Fauna was carried by NW Willow who was born here and fully tested disease-free. Fauna has three full siblings on site, Lilac-P, Thistle-P and Flora-PP ET, for you to view as well.
Fauna would be an excellent start to a Mini breeding program as a family dairy cow or 4H project. She's already well started on the lead. If you have 3+ acres of pasture, companionship in the form of another cow, adequate shelter and time, we'd love for you to meet her. We'll provide excellent references and ask you for references too.
We manage our herd with organic practices, make our own hay or buy from unsprayed local fields. Our water comes from a tested well. She's being raised grain-free with Redmond's loose minerals and Raw Milk. She's never had antibiotics or vaccinations. Our herd has been strictly Closed since September 2017. We're serious about biosecurity!! Our herd tests clean annually for BLV, BVD, Johne's, and has previously tested negative for TB, Brucellosis, Q-fever, Staph A, Neispora, Mycoplasma and more.
Registration with AJCA will be transferred at our expense.
We offer lifetime support and have a Five Star Rating on Google and Facebook. Fauna comes with a folder of genetic testing, health care documentation, receipts, and personal notes. We put everything in writing. Our farm is North Woods Homestead on Facebook, MeWe and at NWHomestead.com.

NORTH WOODS EMERALD EVERGREEN, born 11/16/2019, registered with the American Jersey Cattle Association, AJCA, JEUSA000173869435 {2} BBR100, Kappa Casein BB, Beta Lactoglobulin BB. DNA verified to be 100% pure Jersey genetics. Evergreen is a standard Jersey, not Mini. sired by CHILLI ACTION COLTON-ET JEUSA000066738335. Evergreen would be an excellent family dairy cow or a 4H project. If you have 3+ acres of pasture, adequate shelter and time, we'd love for you to meet her. We'll provide references and ask for them.
Her dam, NW Emerald, is on site and recently retested clean of BLV, BVD, and Johne's at 6 yrs old. Sired by Frey's Dairy Toro, her line is to her grandsire, Eclipse (JEUSA000114845461). Emerald was born into our closed herd, as was Evergreen.
Evergreen is bred to a Polled, A1/A2, standard New Zealand bull with grass-fed genetics. We have a steer here you can see by this bull and Emerald. Evergreen will be reported to AJCA as bred at transfer. Her calf can be registered with AJCA as a {3} generation. Registration with AJCA will be transferred at our expense.
She's very affectionate! We handle her daily and she loves attention. She lives with sheep, Jersey cows, Livestock Guardian Dogs and has been exposed to barn cats, chickens and Guinea Fowl. Evergreen is halter trained. We expect she'll provide your family with 3+ gallons of A1/A2 Raw Milk for making healthy dairy products. She has BB Kappa Casein and BB Beta Lactoglobulin milk, the ideal types for cheese making.
We manage our herd with organic practices and harvest our own hay. She's been raised grain-free, on hay and pasture with Redmond's loose minerals. She's never had antibiotics. Evergreen is a fullsize Jersey, not a Mini Jersey.
We offer lifetime support and have a Five Star Rating on Google and Facebook. Evergreen comes with an extensive folder of genetic testing, health care documentation, receipts, and personal notes. We put everything in writing. Our farm is North Woods Homestead on Facebook, MeWe and at NWHomestead.com.
Our herd has been strictly Closed since September 2017. We're serious about biosecurity!! Our herd tests clean annually for BLV, BVD, Johne's, and has previously tested negative for TB, Brucellosis and Q-fever. Her dam just tested negative for Staph A and Mycoplasma. Evergreen is BANGS vaccinated in compliance with state law. She's received no other vaccines.
In the photos she has a nose-ring as a precaution because her dam is in milk in the same pasture. Please excuse the holding pasture. We're still waiting for the grass to come in on the grazing/hay fields.
Invest in a healthy Jersey to provide your family with the VERY BEST food!

She's somewhat shy but an excellent mother to Ruby and affectionate to our Livestock Guardian Dogs. Early in her lactation she tandem nursed Ruby and Emerald. Her training will serve her new family well as their first family milk cow.

She easily gave 3 gallons of milk a day, with a quart of cream per gallon. She was affectionate and gentle, allowing us to give milking lessons to the children who toured our homestead.
