What is the Star Brood Cow Award?

A certificate of Star Brood status will be awarded to pedigree Jersey cows in recognition of their contribution to breed development through the Production and Type Classification achievements of their progeny.
The criteria used to calculate the Star Brood Cow Award are listed below in the qualification thresholds and points structure, from this, the number of points, and therefore, stars awarded to the cow is calculated.

Star Brood Cow Awards Rules

  • Points will be awarded following each genetic evaluation proof run, which is run three times a year.

  • One Star is awarded for every 8 points that each dam’s progeny achieves. In addition, if any of the progeny achieve Star status in their own right, then an additional 2 points will be awarded for the first Star plus 1 point for subsequent Stars, from every Star-rated offspring.
  • Each time an application is made for a Star Brood Award calculation, and if the cow is eligible for a star status, then the star or new stars will be awarded and will automatically show on the animal’s pedigree certificate to show her new star status.

  • The pinnacle of achievement is the Gold Star Brood Cow Award presented when a minimum of 40 points is achieved.

  • Gold Star Brood Cows will have their achievement marked by the presentation of a commemorative certificate.
