[QUOTE="regolith, post: 636484, member: 9267"] Jersey, and production depends how much you feed them. Mine (Jerseys and Holstein-FriesianxJersey) are on rotationally grazed pasture and do about 4% protein, 5 - 6% butterfat and maybe 3000 - 3500 litres/cow in an 8 - 9 month lactation (divide by 4.5 = 720 gallons). Fully-fed overseas cows commonly do double the production of the NZ version. I don't know much about the other breeds. Brown Swiss are known for high protein, Ayrshire for slightly higher protein and fat percentages with lower volume than the Holstein-Friesian. But the right management/strain of Holstein-Friesian can get significantly higher fat and protein percentages than average. Depends what you want the milk for. The stuff my herd produces is almost too rich to drink. [/QUOTE]
