Welcoming our Jersey Cow "Jewel"

So much to my husbands head shaking, I got a Jersey cow in April. She's four years old, registered, and 3 quartered cow but is still putting out 4 gallons a day on a grass diet. Her milk is amazing and we watched as the butterfat went from a pale color to a rich yellow color when she started eating knee deep beautiful green grass. Grass fed cow's milk contains more beta carotene and gives it the traditional yellow color you imagine with butter. I've tried lots of recipes and make butter, yogurt, sour cream, Devonshire cream, cheese curds, and flavored butters as a weekly chore. The extra milk goes to feed the chickens, ducks, and pigs. The pigs go crazy over the milk!
