Keightley & Core Jerseys

Keightley & Core Jerseys KCJF has been focused on breeding quality Jerseys since 1955.

In that time, we have bred a National Grand Champion, Reserve Grand Champion, All American Junior Show Grand Champion, and two Jersey Jug Winners.

Now that we’re home from the Kentucky State Fair and almost rested, we want to say THANK YOU to everyone who followed along with us throughout the week!

We loved getting to share a little bit of the show, the cows, the work behind the scenes, and what a week at the State Fair really looks like. And a big thank you to all of our The Dairy Alliance followers who came along for the ride too!

Now we want to hear from you. What else would you like to see from the farm? What questions do you have about the cows, milking, feeding, crops, showing, or just everyday life on a dairy farm?

Drop your questions or ideas in the comments. We’d love to show you more!

It’s been a big week for DreamMaker daughters!

Hot off the press from the Wisconsin Summer Championship Show, Koss Reuter Dream of Heidi ET was 1st Place Winter Calf and Reserve Junior Champion!

Previously owned with our friends, the Dave Schmocker family, we’re especially excited to see Heidi doing so well.

Congratulations to Milk Source Genetics on a great day! We love seeing DreamMaker daughters finding success in show rings across the country!

Most of all, a huge thank you to our crew. This was easily one of the smoothest State Fair weeks we have ever had, and that is entirely because of the people behind the scenes. From everything that has to happen at home to everything it takes to get this many animals ready and into the ring, we truly have the very best people helping us. We are incredibly thankful for each of them and everything they do.

A Kentucky State Fair we won't soon forget!

What a banner day at the Kentucky State Fair! We’ll have plenty more to recap and highlight, but for now, this one deserves a post of its own.

We would be remiss if we didn’t say that the Kentucky State Fair feels a little more empty this year after the recent loss of our dear friend and fellow Jersey breeder, Ronnie Rider.

Ronnie was a staple on the center aisle. He was a tremendous breeder and cow man, but more than that, he was one of those people who simply made the fair better. He brought a lot of joy, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of friendship to our days here.

There is a small memorial set up for Ronnie in his usual spot on the center aisle. Tomorrow morning (Sunday)at 7:00, before the show begins, there will also be a short memorial in his honor.

If you’re at the fair, we hope you’ll join us as we remember a legendary Kentucky dairyman and, more importantly, a really great friend.

The center aisle just isn’t quite the same without you, Ronnie.
