From Wendy Quérée.

THERE are many aspects of Jersey life that I love, and one of my favourites is gazing at our beautiful, gentle, Jersey cows.

They are very special and must be the prettiest in the world. However, I know little about farming, and had no idea that lifting the ban on imported semen meant that not only can semen from Jersey bulls be imported, but this also means that any bull semen can be imported, as the JEP of 30 September illustrated.

I now wonder how long it will be before our fields are dotted with many other breeds, and we will no longer have fields and fields of our Jerseys to gaze at.

Surely it’s not possible for the Jersey cow, as we know it, to become an endangered species, or even extinct? Or am I just talking a load of bull?
