A Guernsey is a kind of light brown with white patches on its forehead, legs, tail, and on its shoulder. Eyes, nose and hooves are the same colouration as the rest of its coat colouration pattern is.

Jerseys, on the other hand, range from a blackish brown to a fawn colour, with their noses, eyes, hooves, switch, and ears a blackish colour. Often fully mature cattle have a dark face if they have the signature fawn colour, with a light ring around their muzzle and eyes. Other Jerseys that are do not meet the breed registry will have white patches on their body along with the signature dark dark points and often light body.

Guernseys and Jerseys are primarily raised to give milk. However, when they are old or not producing as much milk as the farmer would like them to, they are culled and sold to be made into beef in the form of ground beef.

A Jersey cow (being a mature female bovine that has had at least one calf) is a Dairy cow. Reason being is that she produces far too much milk for her own offspring to live off of, and she does not have the blocky muscular body type of a typical beef cow.

Milk, primarily. When they are culled from the herd, they are slaughtered and used for beef.

One breed is just as good as the other, it all depends on where you live and which breed you have better access to.
