Speaking of sparkly crowns, the Jersey Association is looking for candidates for their 54th National Jersey Queen. Applications must be received in the AJCA office on or before October 15. Judging begins on Friday, November 7.
The new Queen will be selected Saturday, November 8, 2008 at the conclusion of Junior Day activities at The All American Jersey Shows and Sale, held annually in conjunction with the North American International Livestock Exposition, Louisville, Ky. She will succeed the reigning Queen, Rachel White, of New Castle, Indiana.
Financial support is provided by the National Jersey Queen Development Fund. Major funding for this effort comes from proceeds of a donation heifer sold each year at a national Jersey sale. This year’s heifer, TC Militia 1244 Jayne, was donated by Kevin Lutz, Treasure Chest Jerseys of Lincolnton, N.C. She sold in the National Heifer Sale on June 28 for $4,400 to Maisey Wells, Leicester, N.C.
There are three eligibility requirements to compete for honor of National Jersey Queen. Contestants must be at least 16 years of age but not older than 20 on January 1, 2008. They must be either a current state or regional Jersey queen, or be an exhibitor at the 2008 Western National Jersey Show or The All American Junior Jersey Show. All contestants must be a Junior Member in good standing or Lifetime Member of the American Jersey Cattle Association.
Candidates for National Jersey Queen are evaluated on the quality of their application, interview, general dairy and Jersey breed knowledge, and public speaking, both prepared and extemporaneous.
