Jersey cattle are '''small cows''' (400-450kg), typically '''light brown''' in colour; however, this colour could range from grey to dull black (also known as Mulberry). They will always have a '''black nose bordered by a white muzzle'''. Jerseys also always have '''black hooves''', which makes them less prone to lameness. They have '''high quality milk''' that is rich in colour, butterfat, protein, minerals and trace elements. Jerseys produce on average about 5,600 litres of milk with 5.4% butterfat and 3.8% protein. Milk from Jersey cows is often marketed as a niche product. | Jersey cattle are '''small cows''' (400-450kg), typically '''light brown''' in colour; however, this colour could range from grey to dull black (also known as Mulberry).
