*Disclaimer: We have had some concern about the fact that this doesn't look like a Jersey. Several years ago we tried crossbreeding some of our cows that were having problems with mastitis in hopes of increasing their offspring's resistance. We crossbred 4 of our Jerseys with New Zealand Ayrshires (another dairy breed). We have sold all of the cows from those crosses, this is a steer we kept from one of those crosses. It's hard to tell from his color, but he is 3/4 Jersey and 1/4 Ayrshire. He is in with our young heifers (the ones in the background) so he has company until it is time to harvest him. Good eye, readers! Good eye!
