 Today the
Jersey is the second most popular breed world-wide.
Jerseys can
be recognized by their fawn color and black nose. They usually have a blueberry
(nearly black) brush to the tail, they are much smaller than their black and
white cousins and are noted for their docility.
Jersey milk
is noted for its high quality rather than the quantity, it is particularly rich
in protein, minerals and trace elements. Jersey milk is also rich in color which
is naturally produced from carotene, an extract from grasses (the cows natural
food).
Jerseys have
many traits that make them well suited to a grass based operation, they are
known for calving easy, good temperament and most of all a increased energy
efficiency. Energy efficiency means they are extremely efficient in turning
feed inputs (grass, grain) into milk and butter fat continent.
