The Gurensey breed has all but disappered beauce there is no real advantage to have them. Jerseys give higher% butter fat, and Holsteins give more milk. Farmers are paid for their milk by components, not volume. So the higher% of BF in the milk the higher the pay out will be. Holstein cows can give more BF in a lactaion than a Jersey but, She will eat about 30% more feed over that same time to do this. Many dairys that once had all holstein, now will have some Jersys in their herds to raise the tank test.A milk cow that is 9 years old is not worth much more than meat. Is she fresh? Is she bred back? Ask what her Somatic Cell Count is, If her count is over 400scc per mil, I would take a pass, as she could give you a lot of trouble with mastitis.And high cell count milk can have an off taste and reduced storage life. If I can answer any more questions for you , just ask, I would be happy to try. I have a small Dairy farm, we milk 50-60 Jersey cows. Bruce
