179. Description of Jersey cattle. — This breed is one of the 
smallest of the dairy breeds. While the color is described as fawn- 
like, it is quite variable in its shade, being yellow, red, gray, brown 
or silver fawn. The general conformation of the Jersey is low 
and muscular. The head is small, short, lean and dish-faced. 
The horns are crumpled or incurved, small, waxy, and often black- 
tipped. The ears are small, delicate and yellow-colored within. 
The neck is fine and short. The body is well rounded, large and 
deep. The tail is fine and long. The skin secretions are usually 
yellow; and as seen in the ear, at the tip of the tail, and about 
the udder, indicate the richness of the milk. The udder is sym- 
metrical, extending up well behind, and well forward, and while 
it is usually very mellow and milks out well, it is often criticised 
for its small size, as well as for small teats. The milk veins are 
highly developed, tortuous or winding in form, passing well for- 
ward and entering the abdomen through milk wells (Fig. 46).
