What's So Special About Jersey Cows?

The Jersey breed has been compared to Holsteins for years because the Holstein produces approximately more milk in a lactation cycle than the Jersey.

However, there is an important difference between the milk produced by Holsteins and Jerseys. One breed produces β-casein protein, while the other produces A2 protein. A2 milk is full of nutrients that help the body grow and develop. And it is not lactose intolerant.

Finally, the Jersey cow produces more milk with less feed, making them cost-effective dairy cattle.

Is a Jersey Cow Dairy or Beef?

Many ranchers and dairy farmers raise jersey cows for their milk, while others raise them for their beef. That's because Jersey cattle have the best-tasting beef on the market.

How Much Milk Do Jersey Cows Give on Average Per Day?

Jersey milk cows yield about 1,860 gallons per lactation cycle.Jerseys can usually produce about 6 gallons of milk every day on average. This is a highly productive animal. The Jersey breed of dairy cattle naturally produces milk with higher concentrations of protein and calcium than average milk. More protein and calcium not only boosts the nutrition of Jersey products, but it also adds a richer taste, even to skim milk.
