Ysabel Jacobs is our first international woman to be featured during our Women in Dairy Series.  Ysabel grew up on her family\u2019s dairy farm with her parents, brothers and a sister.  She graduated from the University with a degree in Administration Marketing International.  Today, she farms with her father, Jean; her mother Marian, her husband Tyler (and their three kids: Alyson (5), Ryan (4) and Jayden (2); and her brother, Yan and his wife Vero (and their 5 kids:   Elsie (8), Nellie (6), Henry (4), and Charly & Johny (2).  Together, this true family operation operates two dairy farms, Ferme Jacobs and Ty-D Holsteins.  At Ferme Jacobs, they have 600 head, milk 140 cows in addition to 1100 acres.  Their breeding philosophy is based on type which is evident by numerous show accolades in addition to them marketing cattle and embryos worldwide.  Together, Ysabel and Freder Fillion manage this part of the farming operation.<\/p>\n

Ysabel\u2019s Story in her own words:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What is your favorite dairy product? <\/u><\/h4>\n

Cheese. All kinds of cheese, my best nights are a wine and cheese supper!<\/p>\n

Who is your favorite cow? <\/u><\/h4>\n

My favorite cow is Jacobs Goldwyn Valana. My favorite breed is Holstein. I love a dairy cow with lots of strength, great feet and legs and are easy to work with.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note: Goldwyn Valana was the 2nd<\/sup> place Mature Cow, 1st<\/sup> place Bred & Owned, Reserve Senior Champion, Grand Champion Bred & Owned and Reserve Grand Champion Holstein at the 2015 World Dairy Expo!<\/p>\n

\"Jacobs<\/a><\/p>\n

What are 3 things you want consumers to know about the dairy products you produce?<\/u><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. We do have a very different family but we do what we love and it is never quiet because we work with animals all the time.<\/li>\n
  2. We look after our cows as if they were a part of our family so don’t imagine that we are hard on them.<\/li>\n
  3. Population should get closer to farms, as they produce their meals every day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a Mom what do you want to share with others about the dairy industry?<\/u><\/h4>\n

    As a mom it is for me the best way to raise our kids even though there is risk on the farm. Kids have a nice opportunity and can challenge themselves at a young age.<\/p>\n

    When did you start farming? <\/u><\/h4>\n

    I started as I grew up, on our family farm. Now, I manage the marketing operation of the farm and look after all the new babies until the age of breeding.<\/p>\n

    Describe a typical\/average day for you.<\/u><\/h4>\n
