But, I do prefer the cream from the Guernsey vs Jersey. I had a nubian many years ago and really enjoyed her. Milking her was my favorite time of the day!

We really want to have a cow, maybe sooner rather than later. I wish I could try both Guernsey and Jersey and Brown Swiss. How does the amount of cream compare? I want the one with the most cream. :) That's why we picked Nubian goats. Carolyn, oh, I like hearing that! We really want to have a cow, maybe sooner rather than later.

We have had a Guernsey cow for a number of years and the milk is exquisite!! We lost her in a horrible blizzard, another story. Since our move to Texas last year I have sourced Jersey milk. It is very good, much better than raw Holstein, but not as good as Guernsey. I do so miss Harriet. She was not what one would call a nice cow, but she gave the BEST tasting milk about 5 gal a day. I made cheeses, butter, kefir, yogurt, ice cream, gave milk & cream to my grown kids & grandkids. So, in my book Guernsey hands down!! Now I need to get off my duff and find a Guernsey hefier. I should add that we researched for quite a while before deciding on Guernsey or Brown Swiss as the breed we wanted. Thank you for all the footwork you do! Carolyn Hi Wardeh,
