Pioneer

North Woods Pioneer-P, DNA Verified Purebred Mini Jersey (BBR93), 40 inches at 2 years old, A1A2 AB BB

Last updated July 2025

Pioneer came to us from Idaho; it was a long but uneventful four day hauling trip! We came across Pioneer when we realized the bulls we had access to locally were pure but producing mostly mid-sized calves. We started searching for a Mini Jersey bull with high Jersey purity and the ability to maintain smaller stature in the next generation. At first we weren’t considering Pioneer because our family can only drink A2A2 milk, and Pioneer’s milk proteins are A1A2 but as we connected with more Mini Jersey cattle lovers, we realized there are many families who don’t notice any concerns when they drink A1A2 milk. We felt confident in utilizing Pioneer’s small stature, excellent temperament and generations of grass-fed genetics to complement our cows, knowing that we could find good homes for any calves that inherit an A1 gene. All three of the calves Pioneer sired for us in 2025 were friendly and very easy to work with and lead train.
