France Jersey: Although Holsteins have been developed in the United States almost entirely for dairy production, they also provide a large amount of meat. The calves are often slaughtered for veal, and the cows, after they are no longer productive as dairy animals, have a high salvage value for beef. In recent years, the popularity of Holstein steers in beef cattle feedlots has been steadily increasing. For many years, they have provided the main source of beef in the Netherlands, West Germany, and Britain.
Jersey. Jersey cattle originated on the island of Jersey, which is in the English Channel just off the coast of france jersey. They were probably introduced to Jersey from france jersey sometime prior to 1100 A. D. In the mid-20th century, they are raised widely in the temperate zones, particularly in Britain, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. They have also been introduced in rather large numbers into tropical countries, including India and Central and South American countries.Jersey glass. In 1739 Caspar Wistar established a glass factory in the southern part of New Jersey. It was carried on by his son, Richard, until the Revolution. Several brothers by the name of Stanger also started a glass factory in the same section, probably just after the Revolution. The productions of these factories were known as "South Jersey" glassware, and consisted mostly of useful pieces such as window glass and bottles.
Jersey cattle are famous for the richness of their milk. The butterfat content of Jersey milk averages 5.2%. In recent years, considerable emphasis has also been placed on increasing the pounds of milk they produce. Their current average milk production is 8,600 pounds (3,900 kg) or 4,200 quarts (4,000 liters) a year. Mature Jersey cows weigh about 1,000 pounds (454 kg); the bulls weigh 1,500 pounds (680 kg). Their color varies from a light gray to dark brown or fawn. They often have extensive black markings, and they may occasionally be marked with Eatches of white. They mature rapidly and may e put into the milking herd at younger ages than most other dairy cattle. |
