Many cattle bred by Rider Jersey Farm have caught the judge's eyes on the green shavings at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, KY, over the years.
It started with B. Masters Myra, the 1982 Reserve All American Senior Heifer Calf. Then came Special Jade, who placed third in the 1984 National Jersey Jug Futurity and also earned best bred honors.
At the 1999 All American festivities, Judes Kim (owned and exhibited by Waveraly and Nabholz, Clear Brook, VA) was named All American Milking Senior Yearling and Major Molly (owned and exhibited by James Foote Jr., Copake Falls, NY) was Reserve Junior Champion and All American Intermediate Calf. Special Lou was presented with the NASCO International Type and Production Award.
More recently, several other Rider-bred animals have made us proud by earning All American or Reserve All American laurels, including the cows shown below.
