I bought a Jersey Milk Cow!!!! Butter, cheese & cream.......

I have been wanting a family milker for a long time and today I found a small farm who is going to downsize their dairy herd. They have 6 cows for sale and I am going to have a look see tomorrow.

They are Jersey cows and most are milking now. One is bred to freshen her first time and anothe in milk is re-bred. I am soooo excited! All are halter broke and handled daily so they are very gentle and should make good family pets as well as milk producers.

My aunt/neighbor has one they keep up and feed sweet grain! Best milk I have ever had and it was in no way thick like I remember as a child, very thin and smooth. Good luck with your purchase!
