A lack of care for our special breed

From H B du Feu.
RECENTLY a relation sent me a few copies of the letters in the JEP. What a shock to see that Belgian Blue bull and those ugly crossed calves and why on earth do they want Aberdeen Angus?
It would appear David Le Cornu, the St Peter farmer, and Darren Quenault are determined to terminate the pure Jersey breed.
Having spent three years in the Middle East while in the Royal Air Force, and also travelled many times to the USA and around Europe, talking to various people when I mention I was born in Jersey, one of the first things they say is: ‘Ah, the Island with the special breed of cattle,’ and most had much admiration for this pure breed.
So, previously they were known all around the world as something special but it would now appear greed for money brings the destruction of this special breed of cattle. Why on earth can’t the Jersey Herd Book do something about it?
I also have to mention an excellent letter on the subject that was written by Gerald Vautier, who happens to be a cousin of mine. Having only spent the first 14 years of my life in Jersey I haven’t forgotten my roots.
At the age of 82 I feel the younger generations in Jersey would appear not to care whether this special breed continues.
Essex.
