19Jersey Journal – March/April 2014

Twenty-three-year-old Simon grew up on the family dairy farm on the

Dorrigo plateau 65km west of Coffs Harbour on the New South Wales north coast, where his family ran Holsteins.

He is a fourth-generation dairy farmer and has always loved cattle. He spent many childhood hours helping with the milking, feeding the calves and following his grandfather Kevin.

After completing his Higher School Certificate, he worked on the farm while doing a dairy traineeship at Tocal, and then a Diploma of Agriculture through TAFE NSW. He made a decision with his father in 2009 to introduce Jerseys, establishing his own Oakleigh Downs Jersey Stud.

Simon began with a small number of Jerseys carefully selected from studs around NSW, and then chose bulls to use on-site to compliment his artificial breeding program. He puts his Jersey bull over all of his heifers to enable easier calving. He says he’s breeding for increased milk production as well as type. He wants his cattle to be competitive in the show ring.

He uses sires including Vanhalem, Astound, Headline and Legal. He recently purchased the bull Gold Label Dream Boy from Shirlinn Jerseys stud at Tamworth, 200km south-west of Dorrigo on the NSW northern tablelands.

Simon is part of the Atkins family which has long been prominent in northern NSW dairying. He is related to Shirley Wilson from Shirlinn, who was an Atkins when she married Lindsay Wilson, and Simon was happy to purchase their bull. He s slowly building up his Jerseys numbers. The farm’s herd is now about 40 per cent Jersey and 60 per cent Holsteins or Holstein-Jersey cross.

The Atkins’ home farm is 220 acres on flat arable country with volcanic-derived clay soils. They lease a further 500 acres of adjoining and nearby land. They milk

in a ten-a-side herringbone dairy and supply the Lismore-based northern NSW farmer co-op NORCO.

Although Simon grew up with Holsteins, he saw plenty of Jerseys at local shows, where he first became involved as a young helper to Wayne Burley of Moonpah Jersey Stud. He later participated in Sydney Royal Easter Show junior dairy judging competitions.

Simon is now a member of the Beautizone Jersey Breeders Club, and enters the club’s on-farm challenges and calf days. He is working towards classifying and registering all of his Jerseys.

His Jerseys have also been successful at the Dorrigo and Bellingen shows. His current favourite show cow is Shirlinn Brett Moya.

Simon likes the temperament of his Jerseys. He says they are always the first to get to the paddocks, and first back to the dairy. “In the hot weather, the Holsteins are in the shade first,” he says “In the cold weather, they are looking for shelter out of the cold wind, but you’ll see the Jerseys still out there grazing.”

The Dorrigo plateau is usually among the wettest places in NSW, and is famed for the beef and potatoes produced on its red volcanic soils, as well as its heritage rainforests. It can receive up to 250mm of rain in a day.

The misty and wet conditions of Dorrigo can make it difficult to manage calves, but Simon has developed techniques to reduce illness and losses, and ensure a sustainable replacement heifer program.

The Atkins’ farm has concrete laneways, but the rest can get boggy in the wet. “The cows don’t really like walking in the mud all the time,” Simon says. His Jerseys handle it better than his black and whites, and have fewer problems with sore feet, but even the Jerseys can get sick of the mud during wet weather.

The farm grows a mix of rye grass, clover and brassica for grazing and silage. Despite usually reliable rain, in 2013 Dorrigo suffered the same dry winter which led to bushfire emergencies in other parts of NSW. Silage made on the farm early in the year supplemented pasture grazing during the dry spring.

Simon has bought registered Jerseys from breeders around NSW. He says he doesn’t buy the most expensive Jerseys, but tries to buy good cow families from good studs. His approach is to “look through the catalogue first and pick out a few, and then when you are at the auction or the farm, you pick them out with visuals.” Features he looks for include structure and size, but he also relies on a “sort of a gut feeling”.

He began having his Jerseys classified last year, and says it was an eye-opener. “It’s really good to talk to the classifier,” he says. “They are always a really good judge, and they go through what you need to improve in a cow or what you should be putting over that cow to try to get a 90-point calf out of her.”

Simon also learns from talking to other farmers. He is aiming for stock more like the big American Jerseys. “I just like a larger-framed cow,” he says.

Simon knows every cow in their herd. He says visitors are shocked that he can recognise an individual cow from way down in the paddock, and can recall their breeding details from memory.

But few would be surprised to hear that his long-term ambitions include wanting to breed a Sydney show winner.

“That’s a long way off I think,” he says.

Jersey bull helps build a new Atkins herd at DorrigoDORRIGO farmer Simon Atkins (right) is building the foundations for a long-term career in dairying with strategies including introducing quality Jersey cattle into the herd of 140 he milks with his father Dennis.

20 Jersey Journal – March/April 2014

The power of the ‘P’ is long lived and all important.

P for Performance and Potential.The three sires that lead the polled

resergence, now three years ago, where Eclipes-P, Pro-P and Critic-P, and then not long after an Australain progeny test sire was just hitting the AI tanks, called AussieGold-P . So where are they now?

Eclipes-P (7J860) was described by Russell Gammon (Semex) as the bull that ‘opened the door’for polled genetics. Now, in 2013 his offspring are starting to enter dairys in Australia for the first time, and there seems no doubt, he is a crowd pleaser.In either registered herds or unregistered herds, comments have been very complimentary. He has excelled in highly successful herds and in low profile herds a like, in shows and On Farm Challenges, in high profile multivendor sales or farm dispersal sales, and in herd recording PI’s (Production Index).Worldwide, he has over 1280 daughters in his proof. Sired by popular sire in his day Action, and combined with a female line tracing all the way back to the famous Duncan Belle, Eclipes-P has for

ever smashed the myth that polled bulls can’t be any good.

Pro-P (0200JE00338), who’s dam was also sired by a much sort after sire in his time- Jace, Pro-P is sired by Nathan and has a granddam that topped the milk charts in her day. He graduated at #15, and soon moved into the top 5 sires in Canada for Protein Kgs. By Aug 2013 he climbed another 2 places, now the number 3 sire for Protein Kgs, sitting below only Impuls and Fair, and above Kyros, Legal, and Louie. His milk volume there has changed little and he remains above known bulls such as Kyros, Galaxies Celebrity, BW Country and Jace for milk volume. His production is his strength, with ME (Mature Equivalent) yields for Milk showing 8071 KGs. Pro-P’s Official Canadian type proof may not fit into every program (though his US proof is more agreeable), but with his earliest Australain daughters due to calve 2014, it is yet to be seen if the proof is reflected here.

Critic-P (011JE01098) is possibly already as well known as Eclipes-P and he was only born in 2010. He is another Myth Buster, proving polled sires can be high indexing sires as well, and produce

even higher indexing sons. His daughters also rank highly within the 637 offspring already recorded (no milking daughters yet). A Legal son of a Mygent-P x Hallmark dam, breeder Jim Huffard explains the family has been a long time favorite at the stud and decends from a family already known to Australain farmers in Schultz Perfoming Legend. He said recently “Critic-P is changing the heads of the Jersey breed. It appears, at least genomicly, that he is one of the first high ranking polled bulls. He will have numerous sons entering AI service in the very near future that are polled. It is a luxury when one can improve the productive and conformation traits in the next generation while, at the same time, have them polled.

Critic-P’s cow family has been here for decades. Schultz Legend Chill, one of the early Legend daughters and a top 10 finalist in the leading lifetime production list in her day, is the 6th dam behind Critic-P. This cow family produced some large framed, open cows with a tremendous will to milk. The grandam of Critic-P is Schultz Hallmark Chill EX-94% with a string of records over 22,000 actual in 305 days. Hopefully Critic-P will

P is for Polled. Or it was.

Thank Goodness for Breed Organisations!

transmit the outstanding qualities of this cow family.”

He added it was encouraging to see Critic-P daughters achieving such high prices, and that their own oldest Critic-P daughters were now joined, “so we are anxious to observe their performance.” he said.

Critic-P has been used in top studs in Australia aswell, and CSCBoorowa will be one of the first sons to enter AI here, currently showing excellent ABV(g)s for Overall Type, Mammary System and Stature and good Workability’s, together with an APR of 158.

AussieGold (P), the popular young PT sire son of the Great Southern Challenge winner and Vanahlem sired Broadlin Constance 2565(P), is described by Genetics Australia’s Rob Derksen as looking like “he could end up being one of Australia’s best ever Jersey genetics exports.” He confirmed the young sire will soon be available in the US through Taurus as part of their ‘New Age’ sires’ brand.

He said “Taurus has recently selected a group of Australian genomic bulls and AUSSIEGOLD was the first Jersey bull selected. His outcross pedigree for US dairymen, his depth of cow family, well balanced production proof, Overall Type including his strength and capacity and also of great appeal is the fact he carries the Poll gene. Semen is currently being qualified to be sent to the US and is expected to be available in early 2014”.

But it doesn’t end there, there is more good news heading AussieGolds’ way.

“Following the visit by delegates from the World Jersey Cattle Bureau to Genetics Australia’s EU semen collection

facility at Bacchus Marsh in May 2013 AUSSIEGOLD impressed UK Cogent representatives and they selected AUSSIEGOLD to be made available to UK dairy farmers. New Zealand delegates were also impressed with the bull and semen will be collected and will be sent to both countries in early 2014

A large order has also been recently received from Uruguay and together with other proven Jersey bulls will be qualified and also be sent in early 2014.

Of course he has also proven to be popular in Australia in 2013 and I am hoping we can also confirm an order soon for South Africa.

AUSSIEGOLD – Broadlin Aussiegold P is currently the highest APR polled sire in Australia and looks set to go down in the history books as yet another very popular and influential polled sire.

P for Price!!

Only a small amount of polled stock have come on to the market in Australia, but prices hit $6000 at the 2013 Northern Lights Sale for Kings Ville Lassie 20-P, a much admired Eclipes-P heifer from JeRessurection dam Kings Ville Lassie 16-P EXC93. For polls in numbers, the dispersal sale of the Yorks family ‘Almervista Jerseys’ in 2012 was also a highlight with approx. 15 polls being catalogued and selling to demand from across the country, as did a smaller number of polled progeny at the Wallacedale Future Fortunes Sale in May 2012.

In the US and Europe though it is a different story. The prices in particular for Polled Holsteins (now reaching in to

the $100,000’s regularly), recognising the enormous scale of potential sales, is staggering. Even so, it is often the polled Jerseys however being fought over in bidding wars won by Holstein breeders, keen to get a slice of action in the breed trending upwards for demand and popularity.

Polled price highlights in Sale results in the US and in Europe in the last 18 months include;• in Europe, Claire Swale reports

prices have been between EUR 20,000 and EUR 55, 000 , which was the top priced lot (Hols), a Colt-P female from the ‘Barbie’ family at the Holland Masters Sale. Top ranked Holstein females of their breed, not just as Polls, are now bringing in the multiple $100,000s in the US.

• in the US Holstein breeders and poll Jersey breeders a like have pushed polled Jersey females to the top prices at sales -at the AJCA National Sale, a Critic-P daughter, $26,000 sold to Hols.breeder Matt Steiner of “Pine Tree’ Holsteins. Others –a Louie sold for $7750, another Critic-P $6100 at the same sale. Top price at the Ohio Spring Production sale, $14,000 and at another Scenic Veiw Critic Navara Maid 1-ET topped the Ohio Spring Classic Sale at $22,000. Polled females (including a Valentino) were also 2nd high sellers at other sales including the Prairieland Production Sale, and the Spring Extravaganza Sale.

• These were surpassed this month (Nov 2013) at the 61st All American Jersey Sale however when as part of an all time series record general average ($8804) Kash In Fastrack 40806-P-ET was purchased by River Valley Farm for $35,000.

P for Promising

It was not 18 months ago that industry commentators lamented the lack of polled Holstein sires with TPIs (breed values) over 2000. In August 2013, the ‘Unoffical’ Polled Bull List on DairyBulls Online.com contained 46 Holstein bulls with TPIs over 2000.

For Jerseys, the www.polledjerseys.com site now lists 45 sires with PTI’s (US based values) above popular sire Eclipes-P. When the webpage creater Jay Herron started the Polled Jersey site the small list of sires was in large print and could be seen on one page. Today there are so many new sires it now covers 3 pages.


New polled sires continue to arrive in to Australia regularly, so please stay in contact with your supplier and up to date, as the polled space is constantly changing, which is effecting the range of sires and availablity. In addition to previously advised sires--

AltaGenetics have a Critic-P x Renegade son in Meschach-P (011JE01168) and Critique-P (Critic-P x Tbone) now available, and have JPIs of 205 and 191 repesctively. Both have good production and type and are positive for daughter pregnancy rate, productve life, and low cell counts.

Semex sire Imagination-P (200JE00349), the Iatola x Legion son from Dutch Hollow arrived last season and now has a proof with 44 daughters in 38 herds, showing a balanced proof, he has already left pleasing calves in Australia during 2013. He also positive for cell count, productive life, and components.

Viking are the latest to promote polled sires, having both Holstein and Jersey bred polled genetics on offer, but have something a little different-a sire described as a true outcross to current polled sires. VJ Miro-P is a Dj May x Q Hirse, whose maternal side goes back

to Judds Admiral son, from Robert and Ruth Hall in NZ, which found its way to Denmark. However whilst Cardrona Ads Lolli P did return to service there, no sons were bought for AI, making him an outcross even in NZ and to Fairweather bulls and Normsland Bellboy-P, according to NZ polled breeder Bruce Cameron. VJ Miro-P has moderate milk values, high components and very good udder traits and may indeed fit in to breeding programs better than expected.

Locally, CSCBoorowa (Brookbora Critic Boorowa (P)) will be available this year. Early ABV(g) show APR 158, with good workabilities, overall type 105 and mammary system 106. He is a Critic-P sired son of Brookbora Navara Estelle 87 @ 2yrs, granddam being Brookbora Gus Estelle EX90.

P for Perfect

Judging by the comments now coming from within the dairy industry in Australia and around the world, together with genomic breeding values and proven heifer results, it is certain polled dairy cattle are here to stay.

There is a lot to be said for that feeling of putting cups on a beautiful udder,

attached to a wonderful frame, and knowing that the beauty and practicality extends all the way to a polled head .

It is quite possible that dairy farmers (in particular of Jerseys), through the beauty of nature and the benefits of breeding, are very near to achieving the perfect dairy cow.

P is also for Peculiar?Almost reading like an ‘Odd Spot’

column, researchers at The University of Minnesota (USA) have used gene editing technolgy to ‘produce horn free cattle’ by modifying the DNA of ‘Randy’, a Holstein bull, and inserting the polled gene from a Red Angus, then cloning and creating embryos to be implanted at a later date. The University said there were 3 billion letters (A, G, C, T,) in livestock genomes, and that “we showed we could change one letter of the genome in livestock cells without changing anything else.”

However the press release appears to give little recognition to the current number of naturally pure bred polled livestock already available in dairy herds all around the world.

Udderly AdminIt seems to get busier and busier each time the December/

January period approaches. I think we might be able to get a little respite and catch up over the next two months. So what’s been happening in the office of late?

Export, Export, Export! Boy oh boy is there export. Smaller orders have been coming through but several exporting companies are buying up and shipping Jerseys out. Currently Elders International is buying. You can find the details of their requirements on our website www.jersey.com.au along with whom to contact should you wish to sell.

We have had a request from University of QLD to encourage our members to use DNA case numbers and full names (not NASIS) wherever possible when DNA testing. Currently there is a list you can get from the Jersey website with an updated version soon being added. For anything that isn’t there you can find on iJersey or by calling Jersey House – email is good also!

In this issue you will find an application for Round 1 classification and the Production Awards application. Please pay close attention to the due dates and feel free to send them in early.

Membership renewals were sent out at the end of January so if you did not receive yours please contact the office to get a new one sent out.

From 1st March 2014 you can register your animals for $9.90. What’s the catch? Your animals must be 3 months old and under and registered via iJersey or Ereg (Easy Dairy or Mistro software). For any queries please call us at Jersey House.
