The 64 year old Cairnbrae Jersey stud is home to the renowned Estelle family, the dominant Jersey family for high components, extreme type and 6000+ litre herds. Elton is a direct descendant of this outstanding family.<\/p>\n<p>Former chairman of CSC, Barry Monson, recalls recommending the bull to CSC due to his strong bloodlines and his connection with the Estelle family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe produced good, strong daughters, ideal for our pasture based system in Australia, and also for New Zealand,\u201d Barry said. \u201cHe produced high components rather than high milk yield, which is more profitable in today\u2019s milk payment system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony Urek, Semen Production Manager at Total Livestock Genetics, who managed Elton for many years said, \u201cHe will be remembered for his sensational temperament, great libido and striking Jersey characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe outlasted all the bulls of his generation and if his longevity is passed on there will be many Elton daughters milking for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In total Elton has sold over 150,000 doses of semen and currently has 5,531 registered milking daughters in Australia and daughters milking in New Zealand, UK, Ireland, South Africa and the US, impacting the Jersey breed around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legendary Jersey sire, Elton (29JE3495 29JJA03 CAIRNBRAE JACES ELTON) will retire from service in June.
