Where have all the Guernseys gone? Sixty years ago Guernseys were the second most common dairy breed. Most areas of the country had some good registered herds and many grade herds too. The Golden Guernsey milk companies returned more $ to their producers. "Choosey mothers choose Golden Guernsey Milk" At some point, the big time breeders- who were more interested in show animals- decided that Guernseys needed to look more like Holsteins. Many Guernseys became tall narrow cows that didn"t last long and were prone to health problems. The move to industrialized agriculture wasn"t good for them either. Guernseys respond best to a pasture based management system- not as common anymore. Jerseys are a little more vigorous and have brought in some imported bulls to bring up their fat test, but they can be high strung. It will be easier to find a Jersey, but if you can find a Guernsey you will really like their temperament and the best milk possible.
