Joint sale manager Daniel Bacon says there had never been a better time to market Australian Jersey cows and genetics.
Jersey Australia’s Dairy’s Finest showcase sale will be on Wednesday, May 24 as part of the annual conference at Coffs Harbour.
The auction will be online, and in person and conducted by Dairy Livestock Services auctioneer Brian Leslie.
Mr Bacon, who is organising the sale with Mitchell Flemming, said the catalogue would feature high-quality, all-round depth.
“We’ve got exceptional lots from most states, from really nice milking cows out of big-time pedigrees to calves with high genomics,” Mr Bacon said.
“There’s something for everybody.
“It’s set to be our biggest Dairy’s Finest sale which is off the back of successful sales the last two years.
“The marketability of Jerseys is continuing to grow. Most breeders have put their best foot forward because the results over the past few years have been exceptional so they are keen to be involved.”
Lightning Ridge RK Bashful Lovelies will be one of the attractions in the catalogue after her dam, Brookbora Chrome Lovelies, achieved the top price of $20,000 at the inaugural Jersey’s Finest sale in 2021.
Mr Bacon said the sale had terrific all-round depth and was likely to attract a strong sale average.
“It’s a very high-end catalogue with a lot to interest buyers,” he said. “We’ve got daughters of show champions, high BPI animals and imported pedigrees and the daughter of the record price animal from 2021.
“The market is as hot as ever which has been proven at the Royal Sydney Show. It’s a great time to be marketing Jerseys.”
