August 2010 Editorial

A Complete, Compelling Story

Jerseys have been in the headlines—and in a big way—because of the key findings from a life-cycle assessment study presented July 13 at the dairy and animal science meetings in Denver.

Among other things, Jude Capper of Washington State University reported that using milk from Jerseys rather than Holsteins to make cheese results in substantial reductions in water and land use, fuel consumption, waste output, and greenhouse gas emissions. Per unit of cheese, the Jersey carbon footprint is 20% less than that of Holsteins.

The research was commissioned by National All-Jersey Inc. The findings were instantly picked up and reported by key industry media from Feedstuffs to Dairy Today, Dairy Herd Management, Progressive Dairyman and Hoard’s Dairyman; by regional and state publications like Farm & Dairy; and on dairy news websites including DairyBusiness, The Dairy Network, and Dairy Agenda Today.

The headline was tweeted on Twitter by several recipients of the news release, and the story linked up to multiple Facebook pages.
