THE WORD ON JERSEY COWS

Jersey cows, not from New Jersey , but originally from the Isle of Jersey, were brought to the United States in 1657 by early immigrants. Their average weight is about 900 pounds and each produce about 40 pounds of milk per day, or in consumer terms, about 5 gallons. Their milk is notably higher in calcium, protein, butterfat, and nonfat milk solids. Another way of saying it is, "Jersey Cows make the best milk you can rest your health and taste buds on".
