Jersey Cows, Calves, Bulls, Steers - Rare in Australia

The Jersey cow is a sight you seldom see in most parts of Australia.  Many people love them due to their quiet nature and enormous milk producing characteristic.  One cow can produce over 20 litres of milk per day which is enough for a calf or two and also some for the house.

Jersey cattle are becoming very rare in Australia.  This rarity is due to the commercial beef and milk industry mixing breeds of cattle to try to breed a super cow!  They believe that if they breed the Jersey with a beef breed they will get the best of both worlds: meat and milk producing capabilities.  This has meant the demise of many pure breeds in Australia and other parts of the world.
