Jersey cows range from fawnish brown to black, with some of the lighter coloured cattle having white patches from over or behind their shoulders and/or above their flanks and loins. Some black Jerseys have a lighter saddle over their back, others lack this. They have black noses, eye pigment, and hooves. They also have a dark tail switch (more pronounced in the lighter coloured Jerseys), and sometimes black from their knees down to their hooves. Light colouration is found around the muzzle, eyes, underline, and udder or scrotum. They are small cattle, with cows only averaging around 1000 lbs and bulls around 1500 lbs. Jerseys, like all dairy cattle, are very angular and often thin, with little muscling on their rumps, with bulls more muscular over the neck and shoulders than cows. Jersey cows are very refined as well, with a trim and fine head and neck, making them look very feminine. Cows have large udders which give milk rich in butter fat--ideal for cream production.

Jerseys live on dairy farms in the USA, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, among others.
