Jersey Cattle

These are all well-known, popular breeds of cattle. The Jersey is a sweet-natured attractive animal used for milk production. Jerseys are fawn-coloured often with a bit of black on their heads and have dark eyes, nose, hooves, and switch. They are small dairy cattle, weighing about 1000 lbs at the most. Jerseys have a higher butterfat content in their milk than the more well-known Holsteins do, and are also full of attitude like any sassy, attractive-looking cow would. Jersey bulls are nasty critters though, the opposite of Jersey cows. Because of the increased selection of femininity in Jersey cows, Jersey bulls are very masculine and act as such, challenging and charging anything that moves that threatens their herd, from people on foot to ATVs and trucks. Jerseys are second-most common dairy breed to be used in commercial dairy operations.

The Hereford breed is a well-known beef breed, and was very popular before the "fabulous" Angus breed took over a few decades ago. They were in fact one of the earliest breeds to be imported to the United States in the early 1800s. Herefords are an unmistakable animal, with a white face and mane, white stockings on the legs, white on the tail switch and white in the underbelly with a deep red to light brown coat. Two types of Herefords exist today: Herefords and Polled Herefords, also classified as just plain-ol' Herefords. Horned Herefords are commonly found to have horns pointing downwards by the manupulation of horn-weights on the horns over time so they are less of a danger to the prodcer, and to add to the "aesthetics" of the breed of the traditional Herefords. They are very adaptable, found on ranges from desert conditions to mountainous terrain, as well as on farms where forage is abundant, from Canada all the way south to Uruguay. Though they are not as good milkers as Angus and Shorthorn, they fatten easily on roughage consisting of just grass-hay and native or tame pasture, and the feeder calves also fatten well and grow quickly in the feedlots. Cows were also known to be good mothers that were able to spit a calf out no problem, with them being range cows and not pampered poodles. The Hereford breed is sometimes considered large, although when put into perspective, it is large because it's bone structure is not so fine as other bigger breeds of cattle such as the Belgian Blue. Cows grow to be as small as 1000 lbs or as big as 1600 lbs. Bulls matured around 2000 to 2600 lbs. Its thick hide enable it to be so adaptive that hot temperatures bother it less than thinner-hided cattle such as Holsteins or Angus. Cold temperatures doesn't bother this breed as much either because of its ability to grow a thick winter coat that slicks off nicely in the summer time. A typical British breed, it matures early, and when selected for, shows great growth potential for feedlot and for newborn calves that hit the ground, especially in calves crossed with Hereford. Hereford crossbreds are the best type of cattle in the beef industry, both for maternal characteristics and for the feedlot. The most popular cross are the Black Baldies, or Hereford-Angus crosses. Herefords were also known for their not-so-good traits, such as prolapses, sunburned udders, pink eye and cancer eye. However, these nasty traits were and are easily weeded out with a good culling program. And lastly, but not the least, Herefords are the most docile beef breed that can ever be found. They can be so docile that most producers like to measure docility on the scale of how-many-cups-of-coffee-it-takes-for-her-to-decide-to-leave-the-chute criteria of 1 to utter coffee-induced jitteryness.

The Shorthorn is broken into two different breeds: Shorthorns and Milking Shorthorns. Milking Shorthorns are good milkers, though much less popular than the more popular dairy breeds including Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire and Guernsey. They are very hardy, much like their beefier Shorthorn kin. The beef Shorthorns are also quite hardy and adaptable, found in almost every environment they are able to thrive in, from the hot summers of Australia to the cold northern winters of Canada and almost everywhere in between. Shorthorns can be found in varying coat colours, from white to deep red to patchy roan to roany white to all-around roan. They are quite attractive, both with their coat colours and their sleekness. Shorthorns are traditionally horned much like the Herefords, but selection has been made to produce Polled Shorthorns, much like the Hereford breed. They are also known for their ability to be very docile, as well as great in minimal management-type environments where they are just on grass and/or hay. Shorthorns are great mothers, good milkers, and possess great carcass merits that rivals that of the Angus breed. Shorthorns are able to flesh easy, and mature early, typical of a British breed like Herefords and Angus. Cows and bulls mature at about the same weight as Herefords do, though perhaps slightly heavier, more similar to Angus: Cows --> 1100 to 1600 lbs; Bulls ---> 2200 to 2700 lbs. Shorthorns are a basis for several breeds that have been founded almost half a century ago, including Murray Grey (Angus-Shorthorn cross), Beefmaster (1/2 Brahman, 1/4 Shorthorn and 1/4 Hereford), Santa Gertrudis (5/8 Shorthorn and 3/8 Brahman), Ranger (Hereford, Milking Shorthorn, Shorthorn, Red Angus, Beefmaster, Scotch Highland and Brahman), and Luing (Shorthorn and Red Angus). Shorthorns themselves also produce crossbred calves when crossed with such breeds as Hereford, Simmental, Limousin, Brahman, Charolais, and many others. Today, American Shorthorns are only well known among the show-ring, and seem to only be bred for the show ring, as I have heard there are very few real Shorthorn breeders left in the U.S. that breed shorthorns for beef and range environment instead of creating a boxy, post-legged breed intended to be spiffed up for the showring. The Canadian Shorthorns are more common up here in Canada, and are considered a better breed than the modern American shorties, and possess qualities that make them the kind of breed I made them out to be above. Australia is known for excellent quality Shorthorns as well that rivals the Canadian-made breed.

Jersey cow range starts from 60k to 1.2Lac.. In Karnataka you can get the best Jersey cow's.

Yes, We can I reckon when we know some particular characteristics of a Jersey cow.

Jerseys usually will be lactating for 10 months, but can go for much longer: anecdotes suggest Jerseys can lactate for as long as 2 years if they are milked on a regular basis.

Jersey cattle are a dairy breed that produces high quality milk (high in fat and protein)but lower quantities of milk compared to other breeds of dairy cow. Some Australian dairy herds include a few Jersey cows to improve overall milk quality. There are a very small number of specialty herds producing extra creamy milk that contain mostly Jersey cows.

Dairy production in Australia is primarily in coastal areas where there is sufficient rainfall to produce the high quality pasture that dairy cows need. Dairying is mostly concentrated in Victorian and NSW coastal areas where the climate is suitable and the population is higher so there are good markets for fresh milk sales.

In the more tropical areas it becomes too hot for efficient milk production by Jersey cows.

300

30 to 60 liters in a day

It gives more milk than what it would normally produce for its calf. That's what constitutes a cow for being a dairy cow.

Not if they don't need to be milked, no. But, if you're hired to milk dairy cows, and Jerseys are among those cows that need to be milked, then the answer would be a very obvious yes.

If the chickens are Broilers (bred for the table) they will be fast growing and ready to kill atabout six to eight weeks. You will find that cockrells grow faster than poulets.

Cow tipping is a term that is probably invented by a country boy trying to impress his cityslicker friends. Cow tipping is probably also originated from tipping drunken cowboys for a laugh.

Technically, a group of kids get into a pasture or corral with some cows, sneak up on one and suddenly rush and push it over. Another method is grabbing the legs of the cow and heaving them out from under it.

Most people who don't really know about cow tipping are convinced that this is fact. In fact cow tipping is a myth, for several reasons:

1. Most cows weigh over 1000 lbs and stand over 5 feet tall

2. They are not inanimate objects that are easy to tip over

3. Cows are more agile and aware of their surroundings than most people think

4. Cows can respond to being pushed by pushing back, simply by bracing their four legs against the tippy two-legged slow-thinking creatures.

5. Cows do not sleep standing up

6. Cows can kick, run, jump, or charge and send a person flying over the fence with her head. They also happen to run faster than a human.

7. Cows can adjust their center of gravity simply by the way they stand or where they stand.

8. Cows have a lower center of gravity than humans

9. Not all cows are dumb enough to let a bunch of drunk, tittering teenage boys near them; most'll take off if they don't recognize any of the boys.

Cow tipping, often considered an urban legend, is a pastime allegedly common in rural areas in which participants sneak up on an upright sleeping cow and then push it over for amusement. There are factors which make the possibility unlikely at most; one such factor being that cows (as with most herd-prey animals) only take irregular naps throughout the day, often surrounded by awake members of the herd, making them almost impossible to sneak up on. One factor towards the likelihood of cow tipping being in existence is the fact that Florida considered placing a ban on the pastime, indicating that there is at least enough evidence in favor of cow tipping's existence to present legislation. Some variants of this urban legend state that the cow is then unable to get up. Basing on the cow's weight and body structure, calculations of the necessary force show that the tipping by pushing is physically impossible for a single person. Studies have shown that it would require four or five people, and it is unlikely that a group of that size could sneak up on a sleeping cow. The amount of force and feasibility of tipping would also be highly dependent upon the stance of cow at the moment. However cow tipping may work not through physical force, but rather the cow being startled into losing balance itself. Adding to this problem is the fact that cattle, unlike horses, do not sleep while standing.

The difference between a desi and a jersey cow in its shape and size is that a jersey cow is much smaller than a desi. Desi cows appear more of a square shape while jersey cows are more rounded.

Holstein Friesian cows typically consume more feed than Jersey cows due to their larger size and higher milk production demands. On average, a Holstein may eat around 50-60 pounds of dry matter per day, while a Jersey, being smaller, usually consumes about 30-40 pounds. The difference in feed intake reflects their respective sizes and nutritional needs for optimal milk yield.

As of the latest estimates, there are approximately 200,000 Jersey dairy cattle in the United States. This breed is known for its high butterfat content in milk and is primarily found in dairy farms across various states, with significant populations in California, Wisconsin, and New York. The number can fluctuate due to changes in dairy farming practices and market demands.

A Jersey cow should be cycling, on average, once every 21 days.

This question has been answered in a similar fashion by a very similar, less breed-specific question. Please see the related question below.

jersey milk contains a1, which is harmful for health

Jerseys are small, slow to mature and slow growth rate, and cows are prone to mastitis, ketosis and milk fever. Jersey steers can be fattened up for beef, but because of their slow maturity and growth rate, they are inefficient at being grown for beef unlike the real beef cattle are, and have much higher cutability than beef breeds like Angus or Charolais do. Jersey calves also need intensive management in order to live and survive; they cannot survive in an extensive-type operation where they only have their dams to defend them. In addition to this, Jersey cattle tend to do much poorly on medium to poor quality forages than beef cattle do.

Jerseys came from the British Island of Jersey, which is in the English Channel off of France.
