QUINTRELL JERSEYS

"Where pedigree promise meets commercial efficiency!"

2021 denotes a new era for Quintrell Jerseys as we have purchased our own farm - Carwen Farm, near Looe.
We and the cows are busy settling in - but we'll try and update the website soon,
although calving has also kept us busy.

**STOP PRESS - OUR JUNE 2021 CLASSIFICATION RESULTS ARE IN AND THE HERD HAS 80 EX AND 15 VG HEIFERS IN ONE DAY,

The Quintrell Herd is a 275 head, pedigree, Spring Block calving herd,
with an emphasis on the block calving as the whole herd is dry in Febuary!
We need our down time just like the cows!
March 2018 - Herd average is 5,690 at 5.38% and 3.83%
61% (3224 litres) of this from grazed forage
The rest from just 1.25 tonnes of high ME (14) concentrate fed to yield in the parlour.
Margin Over Purchased Feeds is now 32.42ppl.
We have a conception rate to 1st service of 60% and a calving interval of 374 days

In addition the 275 milking herd at Quintrell includes some 70 heifers, and milkers cover up to 3 miles a day walking to the furthest fields and back.

Average bactoscan of 26 and cell count of 96.

We are proud suppliers of Arla.
