The Jersey Breed
Jerseys originate from Jersey in the Channel Islands. Jersey
is the largest of the Channel Islands.
Today the Jersey is the second most popular breed world-wide.
Jerseys can be recognised by their fawn colour 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 colour which is naturally produced from carotene, an extract from grasses
(the cows natural food).
