Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
Kappa Casein unknown, Beta Lactoglobulin unknown
BBR unknown
MJHB0094, UC Davis NC15986
We tested Loyal's straws and confirmed they are free of disease. He carries two Polled genes so all his offspring will inherit one and be at least Heterogeneous Polled. He measured 40" at 3 yrs.
Rush Farms Kristoff - P 8/31/2014 - used in AI
Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
Kappa Casein AA, Beta Lactoglobulin BB
BBR 80 (assumed by genetic testing of NW Autumn)
IMCBR6135, MJHB0419, AMJA1434, UC Davis NC21733
Kristoff is negative for BVD, BLV, Brucella, Johne's, and Chondro. At 33 months he measured 42" at the top of the hip. He is Heterozygous Polled. NW Autumn was sired by Kristoff out of NW Brook, BBR100, Autumn is BBR90 so we now know Kristoff isn't 100% pure Jersey genetics.
Examples of offspring by Kristoff:
TDH Dino Smurf - PP 11/10/2015 - used in AI
Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
Kappa Casein AA, Beta Lactoglobulin BB
BBR94+ (assumed by genetic testing of NW Willow)
MJHB0544, UC Davis NC30398
Dino has a sweet disposition and is Homozygous Polled. He comes from an excellent milking background, combining the Meadow Beauty and Barnyard Tinker Smurf lines. He's negative for BVD, BLV, Brucella, Johne's, and Chondro. He last measured 41" at 2.5 years.
Examples of offspring by Dino:
MPRR Little Firecracker - P 4/27/2013 - used in AI
Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
BBR94+ (assumed by genetic testing of NW Meadow and NW Fern)
MJHB0054, UC Davis NC14453
Firecracker is A2/A2, Negative for Chondro, measured 41" at the top of the hip when three years old, Heterozygous Polled, and good natured. His Dam is one of their best milking Minis and he added production to the calves he sired for us. He took height off and we're pleased with teat length.
Our offspring by Firecracker:
DC Taylor's Alpha - P - used in AI
Beta Casein A2/A2, BD1-
MJHB0226
Alpha is A2/A2, Negative for Chondro, measured 41.5" at three and a half years old. He's heterogeneous Polled and well mannered. His eye markings make him a stunner! He sired NW Solomon.
Examples of offspring by Alpha:
Frey's Dairy Toro 8/27/2013 - Live Cover
Beta Casein A1/A2
BBR 100 (assumed by parentage & genetic testing of NW Emerald, NW Ruby,
& NW Snowflake)
Toro is A1/A2, not a Chondro carrier, Fawn colored, and straight off an all Jersey dairy. He was raised on our homestead as a graft calf. He brought down height, put great udders on his daughters, and raised milk and cream production.

IMCBR = International Miniature Cattle Breeders Registry
JEUSA = American Jersey Cattle Assoc. and National All-Jersey Inc.
MJHB = Miniature Jersey Herd Book and Registry
AMJA = American Miniature Jersey Association
AJCA = American Jersey Cattle Association
P = Heterogeneous Polled, naturally without horns through genetics
PP = Homozygous Polled, naturally without horns, carrying two Polled genes
AI = Artificial Insemination, not live cover
NC# = University of CA Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory
(A1/A1), (A1/A2), (A2/A2), (A2/B) or (A1/B) = The type of Beta-Casein in a cow's milk. One type isn't necessarily better than another, though those with asthma or allergies may notice a difference. Most grocery store milk is A1/A1 from a Holstein cow. We're developing our herd to contain the A2/A2 proteins because we have a family history of asthma and allergies. You can learn more at ww.TheA2MilkCompany.com.
Breeders are noted by the signifier given at the beginning of a registered animal's name. For example, our signifier is "NW" for North Woods Homestead,, LLC. Any animals we personally paired for breeding are noted by this signifier when registered. When considering a pairing we're putting our reputation on the line.
