How many gallons of milk can you get from a Jersey cow?

Answer 1

Pretty much, yes. Though if you want her to keep producing adequate quantities of milk and not decrease in milk production over time it is best to have her bred so that she will produce a calf a year after she gave birth to her last one. By doing that you will have to allow a two to three month dry-up period prior to her expected due date.

Answer 2

You can only get milk from her after she's had her calf. But, if she's still lactating after she's been bred, from a previous calving, then you can continue to milk her until 2 months prior to her due date.

Answer 3

For as long as she is being constantly milked, which means she can go for maybe another year or so. But milk production steadily decreases the longer she is being milked, so most cows have a lactation period of around 10 months before they are dried off.

Answer 4

She can, yes, but it's best to only milk her twice a day if you want to get a higher quantity of milk in one sitting, not small amounts from milking her more than twice a day.

Answer 5

Jerseys give 5-6 gallons of milk (40-48 lb).

Answer 6

For as long as she is deemed productive in the dairy herd and can last without getting on the cull list, this can be from a year to over 10 years.

Answer 7

2 months
