Jersey Folks?

Any Jersey folks out there have/seen any of these?

Mason Lemvig Jacinto

I've got 23 of them on the way, our heaviest used sexed semen bull.

All Lynns Hallmark Ray

He's another that pretty heavily used.

Anybody I've talked to seems to believe these are both solid choices on the type side of things, especially udders.

If they are similar to the Paramounts, we'll be satisfied.

I have seen quite a few milking Jacintos. They are medium stature with great body capacity and excellent udders, his scratch figure for median ligament would worry me in a cross breeding program. His daughters are a few months off freshening locally.

Paramount was one of my favourite bulls, his small tough daughters must be pound for pound some of the most efficent milk producers across all dairy breeds, they are the fourth and fifth lactation engine rooms of many local herds.

T-Bone, Celebrity, Jevon, Fantom, Harvest. Carrier if you are in a fluid market.

…

The Jacintos are here. A little shorter than I remember the Paramounts, which the proofs would agree with. Nice production so far, but it's still early. Some of them like to kick the milker off too, but that's not necessarily uncommon on the HoJo's I've milked.
