QUEEN JERSEY TELLSHEW STORY:
Colorful Career Os Jersey Imigrants
Launched On American Soil In i 852
By ZENIA SPARKLING IVY, Registered Jersey
As Told To
B. A. BOUCHILLON
i r ^ lrn ® a ^ter time there has been much history appeared
teioie the public eye as to what some particular Jersey
cow or som particular breeder had accomplished, so I wish
to show m a small way what we, the Jersey breed as a
whole, have meant to you American people.
First lets see when, where,
and how we first got across the
Atlantic Ocean from Jersey Is
land, our native land, into
America. It was in 1852, a Mr.
Pratt, captain on a ship cross
1> n g the Atlantic, was accom
panied by his family on one of
his trips. He brought along a
Jersey cow to supply milk for
them. On arriving in New York,
those who saw this cow were
so impressed with her as to
beauty and refinement that they
began making arrangements at
once to import some of we Jer
seys.
Dr, H. L. Twaddell, of Phila
delphia, one of the founders of
the American Jersey Cattle
Club, was the first to import
Jerseys into this country. His
first cow was “Europa” No. 121,
price SSO, from which he found
ed an maintained a herd for
many years, handing it down to
his son and to his grandson.
At first we were considered a
lawn cow and a hobby for the
rich man and could neither en
dure the hot sun of the South
or the cold blizzards of the
North. Due to these ideas and
slow transportation and com
munication in those days, we
were unable to make much prog
ress. However, we did manage
to overcome those ideas, and
with improved communication
and transportation in the last
two score years, we have swept
across the country like a forest
fire being pushed by a stiff
wind, until today we are to be
found in every nook and corner
of the country.
Yes, we have long since de
throned the old native cow and
it seems only a matter of time i
until we will have dethroned
King Cotton’' in the South, as
the largest herd in the world is
located in the state of Texas, our
largest cotton state. There is |
also a large heard in North Caro
lina of more than a thousand
head, being founded 50 odd
years ago. It is so well founded
that it would probably take an
atomic bomb to disperse it.
Another herd in Georgia. “The
Empire State of the South”. I
which has shocked the Jersey
World by producing and selling
two mature bulls and a six
month old bull calf at a record
price of $69,100.
Two other southern herds, yet
in their infancy, one in Texas I
and one in Georgia, are making
progressive strides by leaps and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
bounds, both having already won
national honors. Many others
too numerous to mention are
making rapid progress by graz
ing on year round pastures of
green grass and sweet clovers.
There has been approximately
two and one quarter million
head entered in the American
Jersey Cattle Club herd register
book since we were brought to
America and for the past ten
years there has been an average
of one every eight and one-half
minutes day in and day out the
year round.
The demand for we Jerseys
, has become so great in America,
I as well as other countries, that
THE JERSEY COW
Replacing “King Cotton” Irt South
: it was draining the Island of its
cows to the extent that the
people there were not having
sufficient milk for home con
\ sumption. This made it necessary
in 1946 for the dockmen to re
fuse to load any more cattle
leaving the Island until the situ
ation was relieved. This action
was approved by the govern
ment officials of the Island.
Here are a few of the many 1
accomplishments that have been
achieved by those of small
means. The old family home- j
stead of Ivid Pickard, of Orgon, '
was once sold to satisfy a claim
against it. Desiring to redeem
this homestead he chose the |
Jersey cow to aid him in this
undertaking. Within a few years
he had not only redeemed the
homestead but had produced
two world record cows.
“Viva La-France” at nine years
of age had produced seven
calves, four having been sold
for $20,400 and six official rec
ords of an average of 888 pounds
butter fat, and two of them more
than 1,000 pounds each, thus
being the first cow to establish
two thousand pound records.
Another cow in the Pickard
heard, “Darlings Jolly Lassie”,
at seven years of age had pro
duced six living calves and at
four years of age produced 16.-
425 pounds of milk and 1,147
pounds of butterfat in 365 days.
The Jersey breeders of Oregon
in recognition of the achieve
ment of the two cows and their
owner acclaimed Mr. Pickard a
master breeder and erected a I
monument which was paid for
by subscription to the grave of j
“Viva La-France” and hung her
picture on the wall of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce.
J. T. Carpenter, of Massachus
etts, as herdsman at Hood Farm,
realized his family had outgrown
his salary making it necessary
to make a change. He too. chose
the Jersey cow to help him car
ry on. This change not only
enabled him to meet his finan
cial requirements but produced
the cow “Abigail of Hillside”,
which shocked the Jersey World
by establishing a world record
of 23,667 pounds of milk and
1.197'2 pounds of butterfat in
365 days, giving 644 pounds of
milk on her last day of test.
Max Gordon, of Indiana, a
former club boy, with his wife,
a very charming lady, also took
the Jersey cow for their career.
With a small herd in a very
short time they were able to
consign in 1946 to the Sale of
Stars in Columbus, Ohio, “Won
derful Dreaming Givia", not a
dream but a wonderful cow at
the wonderful price of $21,000,
this being the most ever paid for
a Jersey female.
William (Bill) Bouchillon. of
Covington, a farmer Club Boy.
while milking the daughters of I
Sparkling Standard Sr, that
, qualified this bull for superior
sire, decided a fe.w in number
but high in quality was both , r
more desirable and profitable 1
than a herd high in number and J,
low in quality.
He purchased an eight month
old bull calf of this great bull
and put him in a small herd
on a thirteen acre farm for three
and one-half years during which
time eight bales of cotton were
produced in one year on this
small farm. Late one rainy af
ternoon an out of state buyer
drove up looking for a Standard |
bull and in less time than it i
often takes to sell one cow he (
had sold this bull “Newton j
Standard Sir” and 16 of his
I daughters, ranging in age from
three to eighteen months old. i
none of them yet in milk, nor
out of ested dams.
These were sold for an average
of $125.40 above the national
average of the same year. The
national average for this year
i was based on sixty-nine auction
I sales, selling 3238 head for a
, total of $1,075,756.
The above are only a few of
| the many instances in which
. we Jerseys have stood by as a
scotch and assisted our master
in lifting himself out of the
financial mire by his own boot
straps. If modesty permits, we
are admired above all dairy
breeds for our beauty and re
finement and have been proven
by official test to give greater
: returns per feed cost.
Some facts and proof of su
premacy of we Jerseys is earh
longevity, persistance, quality,
and economic production. “Plain
Mary” was the first J'ersey to
make a 1,000 pound butterfat
record. “Mary Maiden Brown
Lady” at 18 years of age pro- .
duced 698 pounds of fat and at |
