As of recent estimates, there are approximately 300,000 Jersey cows in New Zealand. This breed is popular for its high butterfat content in milk, making it a valuable asset to the dairy industry. Jersey cows represent a significant portion of the country's overall dairy herd, which consists of around 6.5 million cows in total. The specific numbers can vary year by year due to changes in farming practices and market demand.
