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.
