What is a "jersey"?

A Jersey is a breed of dairy cattle that originated from the Isle of Jersey, located between England and France. They are small to medium-sized cows, typically weighing between 800-1200 pounds, with a fawn-colored coat and a white face. Jersey cows are known for their high-quality milk, which is rich in butterfat and protein. They are popular among dairy farmers for their docile temperament, high fertility rates, and adaptability to different climates. Jerseys are also used for meat production, although their meat is typically leaner and more flavorful than beef from other breeds. In addition to their practical uses, Jersey cows are also beloved for their gentle disposition and distinctive appearance.
