A
special thank you to all the buyers and supporters of the
Visions of Veronica sale. It was a wonderful weekend of Jersey
cattle and camaraderie that celebrated a true legend in the
Jersey breed. As Ernie said during the sale opening, "It
takes a village to develop a great cow". Several members
of the 'village' shared their favorite Veronica memories and
they were included in a special section of the catalog that
you can now read online. We hope you enjoy their stories and
get a true sense of Veronica. Click
