Entry Rules

- Records completed on AJCA Performance Programs: All 305-day records will be available on the AJCA database. To check, log on to infoJersey.com and request a Performance-Progeny report for your cow.
- DHIA Records: When DHIA records are submitted, send the individual cow page listing the 305-day lactation. Send only 305-day or less production records, as extended records back to 305 days cannot calculated.

Rankings

Records will be standardized on a 305-day, 2x m.e. basis using factors provided by the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL-USDA) and ranked by lactation value, using USDA component values for Net Merit dollars.

Awards

Recognition certificates will be awarded for the top 10 entries. Top three entries for each junior will be entered in the National Youth Production Contest.

Award recipients will be announced during the 2026 California Jersey Cattle Association Luncheon.
