The Sybilgrove Jersey Stud is situated at McColl Road, Rochester and is owned by Frank & Margaret and David & Noelene Collins. In 1981, the first registered Jersey was born. The current farm consists of 41 hectares which carries around 210 milking cows and a leased dry block of 138 hectares for heifers and calves to graze on. The herd is based on Elenko bloodlines. Artificial insemination was introduced in the mid 1980's using Australian Genetics. The American Genetics was first used in the early 1990's. With the increase in production, herd testing has been very important. Classification has been carried out over a number of years with 60% of the 3 years and older receiving HC+ or better. The herd is based on well attached vessel with plenty of rib and dairy bone. Our highest production year was 2001/02 with an average of 5549 litres, 285 kg butterfat, 5.2% and 221 kg protein. Cow families at Sybilgrove include:- Sally, Impetous, Diamond, Tassie, Wendy, Vicountess, Illumination, Gail, Tonnie, Lady, Lass & Eileen. Successful sires include:- YDB, OOBL, Lester Sambo, Lester Jude, Alf, Astound, Brigadier, Avery and Hermitage. Sires that are currently being used:- Alta JJ, Cri Ace, Alta Megastar, Astound, Alta Whiskey, Saratoga, Paramount, Alta Signature, Alta Nadine and Alta Saber.
