Farms: A Love of Jersey Cows and the Determination to Stay In Business

1. Do Jersey Cow's produce A1 or A2 Casein?
2. The Jersey would have to be my favourite breed of cattle from the research I've done they seem to be very friendly & your video proves this even further, I also love It how you use voice commands to call your girls to the dairy not many farmers do this here In Australia they use quad bikes. I would have loved to get my own hobby farm with a jersey but due to disability & Illness I was not able to do this so whenever I get a chance to visit a farm I jump at the chance.
   
   Give your girls a pat for me & keep up the fantastic work It was a very informative video.
3. what happens to the bull calves?
4. +Food Farmer Earth Oregon looks so beautiful. When I imagine rural America I think of vast wide open spaces but your farm looks so quaint and familiar to me! I come from Devon in the United Kingdom which is a similarly green and lush place, and my family has been milking beautiful girls like yours since my grandparents moved down here after the war.
   
   My cousins have picked up where my grandparents left off and now milk 500 cows, the vast majority of whom are Jerseys, but there are other bloodlines in the herd now as one would expect. The cows graze about 800 acres of open grassland in a New Zealand-style system.
   
   This video was a pleasure to watch and I can totally relate to your affection for your cows! There's nothing like a grand old Jersey lady!
5. I like Jersey cows. A kick from a Jersey is a little love tap compared to the bone-shattering crack from a craggy Friesian! Compulsory pasteurisation is a pain in the arse for boutique cheese makers and lovers of whole raw milk because it does destroy some of the milk's flavour. A way around it is to bottle some of your raw milk in the usual way and take it to the Farmers' Market, labelled "Pet Milk Not Intended For Human Consumption'. Your customers will know exactly what the product really is. And in this day and age of regular herd testing for TB and other diseases, chances of catching a debilitating disease from drinking milk raw are miniscule. Farming families and their friends have been doing just that for generations without a single case of milk-borne disease afflicting them. Cheers, Col, NZ.
6. hey all girls here!! u r all cows!!!!!!

10. How much do you sell a Jersey heifer calf for?
11. THESE COWS ARE BARELY LEGAL XXX SPICY
12. Why is milk in America so expensive? There are so many dairy farms and so much abundance of milk.
13. the  cows are lovely ....... just love them
14. Thanks.  My one-year old son is going bonkers for cows, and we've watched this video together several times now.   If we ever move to Oregon, we're going to try to visit your farm.
15. Correction: 'non-homogenized'.  Homoginisation breaks up the fat particles so the cream will not rise to the top.  The un-natural fat particles that result can cross the gut wall inact, without having been digested first, which can lead to health issues. 
16. A shame to have to cook that milk before they can sell it; definatley not 'natural', but this type of pasturization is better than the 'flash' or ultra-pasturized methods.   Non-momgenized is good too - but if people ever get the chance to drink 'fresh squeezed Jersey juice' bottled in glass... they may never be able to drink that stuff in the plastic cartons at the store ever again.  (Those plastic cartons transfer synthetic chemicals to the milk.  Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourselves, people.)
17. Respect
18. Gotta love those Jerseys.
