1. Following the results of the genomic tests performed on Oomsdale Goldo Goldie Gratitude (JEUSAF111224922), her purity percentage in the Jersey Canada herdbook will be reduced to 75% purity.

2. The three sons of Gratitude that are currently registered in Canada will have their purity status amended to 87.5% purity as a one-time exemption. These three sons are:

- Oomsdale Jace Grat Grieves –ET (JEUSAM607010222)
- Oomsdale Jace Gratit Garden –ET (JEUSAM67010224)
- Oomsdale Jace Gratude Gannon –ET (JEUSAM67010225)

3. Male progeny of Grieves, Garden, and Gannon will be deregistered from the Canadian Jersey herdbook. This applies to eight bulls currently registered. Progeny of these sires would only be eligible to be 0% recorded by Jersey Canada. Also, males from other members of the Gratitude maternal line are also
ineligible to be registered if the dam is less than 100% purity status. Jersey Canada will not hinder the registration of a Canadian-born son of Grieves, Garden or Gannon by a Jersey herdbook in another country, but any progeny of these sons will not be eligible for registration in Canada.

4. Female progeny of Grieves, Garden and Gannon bred before June 1st, 2010 will be eligible to registered at an appropriate level of purity according to the purity of the dam. Progeny of these three sires from a 100% Jersey cow would be assessed a purity level of 93.7% purity. Subsequently, progeny of a 93.7%purity female and a 100%Jersey siremay be registered as 100%pure. Progeny to be registeredwith a breeding date after June 1st, 2010 will be recorded at 0%. These decisions were made on the basis of currently available science in order to maintain the high standards that Canadian Jerseys are regardedwith both in Canada and internationally. These decisions also do not require a change in the bylaws of Jersey Canada and re>lect the wishes of the Board - that registered males in the Canadian Jersey population remain exclusively 100% Jersey.

Additional registry changes
1. The Board of Directors passed amotion requiring all Canadian Jersey males to have a DNA profile on file before registration will be completed, effective April 1st, 2010.
2. The Board of Directors has increased the fee to register a flush with Jersey Canada to $20 per flush from the previous $10 fee. The cost to register a calf resulting from embryo transfer remains the same.
