Little River Jerseys was established in 1999 by Murray and Angela Brewster with a plan to breed more profitable cows with capacity, good dairy type, strong udders and quiet temperament.

Inspired by strong functional cows that competed well, the foundation of the herd was built from proven cow families coming from a wide range of top herds across New Zealand.

To fast track our herd improvement we have taken great care in mating decisions, only breeding from the best cows and doing ET work on the outstanding ones.

“We love our Jerseys and enjoy milking them, our cows are a lifestyle and passion for us”

Philip and Janna Brewster moved to the home farm in 2006 and purchased the herd in 2017. Philip, Murray and Angela are still working on the farm together and have seen first-hand the results within the herd of the early and ongoing breeding strategy.
