For
only the 2nd time in 27 years, the US Jersey Association has a new 97-point
cow! The committee unanimously agreed that Huronia
Centurion Veronica is 97! It is an honor to work with such a tremendous
individual on a daily basis. She gives us so much pleasure with her personality,
her competitive spirit and her aggressive attitude. As we watch her offspring
develop, we know that Veronica will continue to contribute to the progress
of the breed for generations to come. This is a humbling day for everyone
at Arethusa Farm and we thank all those that has been involved with Veronica’s
development through the years.
