Semex On Farm Challenge
Competition proudly sponsored by: Semex NZ
The Semex National Jersey On Farm Challenge is back for another year! Judged on farm, this year’s Competition will see Vince Steiner travel the country to view Jerseys put forward by members of all herd sizes. At the conclusion of judging, results will be analysed and Regional results announced six weeks after receiving results at the JerseyNZ office. Presentations will be made at the Annual Conference in Karaka in early April, 2025.
