The Jersey Bred logo will permit
New Jersey farmers who raise horses
or 4-H market lambs in New Jersey to
use the “Jersey Bred” logo
on marketing their animals. Like the
rest of the United States, New Jersey
has experienced a dramatic decline
in the number of livestock farms.
The industry continues to undergo a structural change of increased production
with fewer animals on fewer farms. The challenge to livestock farmers in the
Garden State is the higher cost of conducting business in a suburban environment.
Generally, production costs per farm are higher in New Jersey than in New York
or Pennsylvania. This places New Jersey livestock farmers at a clear disadvantage
vis-à-vis with farmers in neighboring states.
The use of the “ Jersey Bred” logo will permit New Jersey farmers
to make New Jersey horses and 4-H market lambs more visible and promote the viability
of the industry because it identifies the availability of a product that many
believe to be superior.
For more information about the
Jersey Bred Program, please call
