Mini Jersey Cow – The Perfect Miniature Family Cow
Is the miniature jersey cow the perfect family cow? Learn about the mini jersey in this video from www.thisishomesteady.com.
Today we visit «R Local Farm» a mini jersey diary, to learn about the mini jersey cow and see if it is a good fit for homesteaders.
Visit them yourself this weekend for their Family Cow Forum and learn about keeping a family cow –
Many homesteaders dream of owning a family cow but worry about keeping such a large animal on a smaller farm or homestead. The mini jersey gives most of the benefits of their larger COWnerparts 😉 but in a smaller package.
Miniature jersey cows need less hay, can be compleatly grassfed, and can yield a gallon to 3 or more gallons of fresh raw milk a day.

Do these cows need to be pregnant to produce milk or do they do it all the time based on age and hormones?
We have 1/4 acre so only room for 1 goose and our 4 ducks. I hope to have a mini jersey someday. Jerseys in general are sweeties
Am going to get several ones and do racing with them
You can tell this woman is a natural teacher. They way she interacts with kids is really awesome.
I definitely want a Jersey cow!!! But now, I want a mini jersey!!! ??
Beautiful animals, nice people. Very upbeat and positive energy.
I feel like I remember you saying in one of your videos that you can stop milking mini jersey for a week and then go back to milking them, but I can't find it in your vids or online. Am I imagining that or is that true in some cases?
Do mini cows have heath problems?
Does she ever sell any of her cows ? I want to buy one or two
Great video. How can someone get a Mini Jersey?
Can you drink the Jersey milk raw or does it have to be pasteurized
Hello, I’m building a small cow barn. Space is very limited.
How cold can a cow handle without having to come in (I live in Canada)?
Could I get away with an 8×8 stall (for example where mama cow would calf?)
What about an 8×8 milking stall?
Thank you
i didnt know mini jerseys existed. seems like a great choice if you're trying to just feed your family

#ASKHOMESTEADY IS ORCHARD GRASS HAY GOOD ENOUGH TO FEED A MID SIZE JERSEY THAT HAS A CALF ON HER?
I miss fresh Jersey milk? I grew up on a 198 head full size dairy. To me nothing like a Jersey with a white blaze and a set of those curved horns that only Jersey's have ..i understand those with kids or if your uncomfortable around horns ..not all ours did and those that did we were taught not to stand in front of them ..even though all ours were docile they still have a mind of their own ..especially when it comes to sweet feed at milking time.
Wonderful video thank you
Can’t you give the kids some chocolate milk or ice cream?
Kids like treats.
Great video!
So beautiful. I hope one day to have land enough for three hens for my three daughters and a mini jersey family cow just like this.
I love cows, Iive in NYC so I can't raise one of these but it would be great If poeple from developing countries knew about this. Good job to you guys for raising these.
Ever since I was in 4th grade I have wanted a mini jersey
Is your mini jersy a specific breed?
So how tall is y'all jersey? Y'all keep saying she's the perfect size, what size is that?
I live in East Tennessee, I want a Jersey Cow, for health reasons. Anyone know where i can get one, close by?
Wherever you're at do they sell miniature Jersey cows cuz I need one Bull and one milk cow
Filtering would not remove the bacteria introduced on the straw and detritus, so I cannot recommend consuming that milk. Perhaps it could be used to feed calves.
so nice please tell me your from
I just found you! I'm so sad that I missed it!
A filter will not get rid of bacteria or other dangerous organisms. Ridiculous. Raw milk accounts for 96% of dairy outbreaks and only comprises 2-4% of consumption. Giving it to children is like handing them a loaded gun.
One day I will have one on my 200 year old Victorian farm house. Just wondering does anyone know how many acres 1 mini jersey cow needs? I only have 5 acres
very nyc jersey cow
That woman was deffo annoyed
Thank you for this video! Now I want a mini Jersey 🙂 They look like the perfect family dairy animal!
How tasty she can make cheese and butter..I would like to try .
Farmed Animals deserve Freedom on a Farm Sanctuary. they dont deserve the trauma of a Slaughterhouse.
Another great video. Thanks for the info. We are still doing our research.
This is not avilable in pakistan
ok, I am ignorant….why does the jersey produce more in the summer? It needs less calories to stay warm so more to make milk or because it has just delivered a calf and ready to go again?
I love the cute look of the jersey, so beautiful and feminine to me. My wife loves the highland cow though. I want the jersey for milk…mostly ice cream!! She wants the highland as a….pet. I hear that the highland has a high butter fat too so that could be a winner. I am so glad you guys do these videos!
I need to figure out when all these work shops are occurring so we can fly up to attend one.
Thanks for sharing this video!
super nice video, love Debb`s personality
