DESCRIPTIVE NOTES ON THE MORE IMPORTANT 

 DAIRY BREEDS. 



The Jersey breed of cattle originated on the Island of 

 Jersey in the English Channel, near the coast of France. 

 These cattle are commonly referred to as fawn-colored, as 

 they resemble the grayish-brown color characteristic of the 



Fig. 183. "White markings on Jerseys are not rare." (From photo of 

 Successful Queen 278743. having record of 13.088 Ibs. milk and 803 Ihs.
