What's So Special About Jersey Cows?
The Jersey breed has been compared to Holsteins for years because the Holstein produces approximately more milk in a lactation cycle than the Jersey.
However, there is an important difference between the milk produced by Holsteins and Jerseys. One breed produces ฮฒ-casein protein, while the other produces A2 protein. A2 milk is full of nutrients that help the body grow and develop. And it is not lactose intolerant.
Finally, the Jersey cow produces more milk with less feed, making them cost-effective dairy cattle.
