Homestead Jersey Milk Cows

Jersey cattle are a small breed of dairy cattle. Originally bred in the Channel Island of Jersey, the breed is popular for the high butterfat content of its milk and the lower maintenance costs incurred by its lower bodyweight, as well as its genial disposition.

Our cow Jersey Girl is very small even for a Jersey.  We were wanting to find a small one and she is perfect.  She gives a bit over 2 gallons a day.  This is her first calf milking, she is young.
