Entries are due Sunday, March 1 for the National Jersey Youth Production Contest.
Contestants between the ages of 9 and 20 on January 1, 2026, are eligible if they are the recorded owner of the cow on or before her freshening date. Registered Jerseys completing DHIR or DHIA records of 305-days or less between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, may be entered.
Records are ranked by the multiple-component dollar value of the record. The values were determined by calculating the 305-day mature equivalent (m.e.), then applying Federal Order component values for the previous year along with a weighted average Producer Price Differential (PPD). Those values were $3.29 per pound fat, $1.90 per pound protein, $0.30 per pound other solids and $1.24 per pound PPD for the 2024 contest.
The form is also available from the USJersey website. Or you can email the Communications Department for questions at info@usjersey.com.
