miniature jersey
Miniature Jersey cattle are a pint-sized version of their full-sized counterparts, but don't let their small stature fool you - these little lovelies pack a punch when it comes to charm and utility. Originating from the Isle of Jersey, this breed is known for its rich, creamy milk production, with some miniatures producing up to 2 - 2.5 gallon per day. With their striking coats, which range from fawn to gray, and their large, expressive eyes, mini Jerseys are undeniably adorable. Adult miniatures typically top out at around 42 inches in height and weigh between 600-900 pounds, making them a great fit for small farms or homesteads. Despite their compact size, they still boast impressive strength and agility, allowing them to navigate rough terrain with ease. Formally recognized by the American Miniature Jersey Association, these miniatures are bred to maintain the same exceptional qualities as their full-sized relatives, including their friendly, outgoing personalities. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance milk cow or simply a lovable companion, miniature Jersey cattle are sure to capture your heart with their gentle nature and impressive intelligence. Their small size also makes them relatively easy to handle, even for novice farmers. Homestead miniature cattle is a proud member of the international cattle breeders Association.
