The 2014 National Jersey Show took place November 14 & 15, 2014 at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario. Once again, the 2014 show was a testament to the depth and quality of the Jersey breed in Canada.
A total of 216 head were evaluated by Judge Andrew Vander Meulen and Associate Judge Claudio Aragon, including 107 heifers and 109 cows.
