First cow born using imported semen.

THE first Jersey calf bred from imported bull semen has been born in the Island.

The bull calf was delivered on Thursday morning at Trinity Manor, ten months after the ban on imported semen was lifted.

He has not been named yet because they are waiting for the name to be approved, but Trinity Manor Farm manager Rob Stevenson said that mother and child were both doing well.

‘He’s up and about and so far he likes to eat and sleep,’ said Mr Stevenson.
