The Argentine Jersey Breeders Association was established in 1981, as an initiative of a group of breeders who were trying to spread the breed in the country.

The founding partners were: Juan A. Campbell, Gastón Solari Loudet, Maria Carmen S. de Pérez Companc, Miguel T. Majdalani, Guillermo Alchouron, Graciela Curia, Wanner Jager, Hernán Robredo, Mario Otero, Jaime Kronhaus y Eduardo Kronhaus.

Since then, it began to improve its genetics through imports. During the same year, a group of Jersey breeders began to buy animals in the United States, in 1983 and 1984 in Uruguay and later in Canada and New Zealand.

By means of an intensive use of artificial insemination with proven sires from the referred countries, and nowadays, embryo transfers, the genetic level of the breed calls the attention of international judges who visit us every year in the dairy shows organized by the Association.

It is estimated that there are 4.000 pedigree cows, 3.000 registered cows and approximately 30.000 Holstein x Jersey animals.
