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.

Applications for the Ronnie Mosser Legacy Award are due October 15!

We created this award to recognize a junior who shares Ronnie’s genuine love for the Jersey cow and his belief in the future of the breed. This isn’t about banners, herd size, or having the most impressive list of accomplishments. It’s about the young people who love the cows, do the work, and want to be part of carrying the Jersey breed forward.

If that sounds like a young person you know, please encourage them to apply. And help us spread the word so we can reach as many Jersey juniors as possible.

Applications must be received by 11:59pm ET on October 15, 2026 at [email protected]. Late applications will not be considered.

The inaugural recipient will be recognized this November at the All American Jersey Show.

Jackson had big goals for the fitting contest in Madison this week, but he has even bigger goals for the All American next month. So he made the tough decision to stay home and put the work in here instead.

Feeding, milking, bedding, working with cattle, and everything else that needs to be done. Having things at their best when it matters most takes a lot of little things done right every single day, and he’s been pretty dedicated to doing them.

And he still managed to get plenty of fitting practice. If he could get a halter on it, there was a pretty good chance it was getting clipped.

We’re proud of his dedication and his willingness to put in the work, even when it means giving up something else he really wanted to do.

We’ve spent a lot of years Livin' the Dream. Today, we’re pretty happy to Keep the Fayeth.

KCJF/Lucky Lady Keep the Fayeth
1st Place Senior-Three-Year-Old, Honorable Mention Intermediate Champion, World Dairy Expo

Bred and owned by us with our great friends Frank and Diane Borba, Fayeth has given us some incredible moments, but this one was pretty fun. Thanks to the team at Triple T for their great care of Fayeth this week.

What a day in Madison for this special cow.

I’m not sure who is happier to see these cooler temperatures, us or the cows.

The unbelievable September heat took a toll, and we saw a big drop in milk production. There’s only so much you can do when it stays that hot for that long.

Needless to say, we are all very thankful that Kentucky finally decided it was fall…for this week at least.

Earlier this week we showed you the new post driver, but left out what we were actually building.

Here’s the finished project.

These barriers keep the cows from being able to drink from the pack side of the wall. They can still easily access the water where they’re supposed to, but keeping them away from this side helps keep the pack much, much cleaner.

Not necessarily the most exciting farm project, but definitely one that makes a difference every single day.

And the new post driver made replacing those old rotted posts a whole lot easier.

We got a new toy on the farm.

Our wooden posts that were poured into the concrete curb had rotted off, which left us with a project to figure out.

The solution? Set guardrail posts on top of the existing concrete and use the post driver to drive them straight through.

I’m leaving out exactly what we’re building with them because you’ll have to come back tomorrow for that part.

But I will say, this little project should make a pretty big difference around here.
