Jersey Production Climbs

mackerman@usjersey.com

When the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) released figures for average breed production for 2021, the news was decidedly positive from every angle. For the second straight year, per cow production climbed to a historical high for each measure of production. Equally important, component tests are higher than they have been in three decades. This means the amount of product cheesemakers can create from Jersey milk is greater than ever, reinforcing the argument that America’s brown cow is the world’s most efficient producer of dairy products.

The official lactation average now stands at 20,321 lbs. milk, 995 lbs. fat (4.9%) and 756 lbs. protein (3.72%) on a standardized mature equivalent (m.e.) basis. On a Cheddar cheese yield basis (38% moisture), average production is 2,574 lbs. The number of lactations included in the 2021 average—98,971—is up as well, an increase of 5,889 lactations over last year. Cheesemakers can now make 12.67 lbs. of product per hundredweight of Jersey milk.

Versus 2020, the measures for standardized production represent an additional 116 lbs. milk, 15 lbs. fat, 6 lbs. protein and 27 lbs. cheese yield. Cheese yield per hundredweight inched up as well, increasing from 12.61 lbs. last year.

On an actual basis, per cow production is 17,941 lbs. milk, 881 lbs. fat, 665 lbs. protein and 2,268 lbs. cheese yield. The increases are 86 lbs. milk, 12 lbs. fat, 4 lbs. protein and 20 lbs. cheese yield.

Expressed as energy corrected milk (ECM), average production for Registered Jerseys is 25,314 lbs. m.e. and 22,363 lbs. actual. Respective yield for ECM is up 278 lbs. and 214 lbs. versus 2020.

Based on statistics of the previous 10 years, the breed lactation average is projected to reach 20,831lbs. milk, 1,028 lbs. fat (4.93%) and 783 lbs. protein (3.76%) by 2025, with a cheese yield equivalent of 2,666 lbs. On an actual basis, production is projected to reach 18,413 lbs. milk, 911 lbs. fat (4.95%) and 689 lbs. protein (3.74%), with a cheese yield equivalent of 2,351 lbs. ECM is projected to be 26,111 lbs. m.e. and 23,092 lbs. actual.

Jersey milk is becoming more nutrient dense. Cheddar cheese makers can now make 12.67 pounds of product from a hundredweight of Jersey milk.

Cheese makers are projected to be able to make 12.77 lbs. of product per hundredweight of Jersey milk on an actual basis by 2025. On an m.e. basis, yield is projected to be 12.80 lbs. of cheese per hundredweight.

In the annual breed production summary released by the AJCA, production is included for lactations meeting the registry minimum of Generation Count 4 and higher. Records included in the average have data collection ratings of 85 or higher. Herds identified in Jersey Journal rankings have a minimum of 10 cows.

Published below are listings of the top herds in the nation for actual and m.e. production. Herds are ranked overall and by herd size as well. Herds with averages above breed average are also listed by state. This listing is available as a PDF link here.

To become better acquainted with some of the nation’s top producers, the Jersey Journal sent a questionnaire to herd owners of the top 10 herds for actual or m.e. production. Their responses are summarized here. We hope you enjoy learning more about your peers from these snapshots.
