No breed is the best. However Jerseys may be the "best" since they are the only dairy breed that produces high-butter fat milk.

How long does it take for a cow to become fully grown?

The Holsteins can get up to 1400 to 1600 lbs when fully mature. Jerseys are a bit smaller, the largest weighing only 1100 lbs; smaller Jerseys only weigh around 800-900 lbs. Other dairy breeds fall in between Holsteins and Jerseys.


Can you breed a Holstein bull to a jersey cow?

Yes, but you may end up with that Jersey cow having problems giving birth to a large calf. Holsteins are not really known for giving small calves like Jerseys are, so either consider breeding a Jersey bull to a Holstein cow, or don't breed your Jersey cow to a Holstein bull at all.

How long should you keep a bull with a cow?

It's best to keep a bull with a cow until a) the cow has conceived, or b) when she no longer goes back into heat. Usually it's best to leave a bull in with that cow for a couple months so that both her heat periods are covered and she has a higher chance of conceiving. But even then you never know. It's always best to check if she has been bred by getting her preg-checked or have a blood-sample done on her.
