Cow families are important at D&E Jerseys. Over the
years, we have selectively purchased top quality foundation cows,
developed our own maternal lines and used the breed's leading JPI sires,
with emphasis on functional type and profitable production.
Some of the foundation cows on which we are building
the herd today are shown below.
