0:00
this is Vicky she is the only jersey car
0:02
in this field but we have got two more
0:04
out grazing the valley as we speak
0:07
and jersey cows are neighbours to our
0:09
golden guernsey goats who you might have
0:11
already learnt about because they come
0:13
from the island of Jersey
0:16
and they have an amazing superpower
0:19
their superpower is to produce milk so
0:22
what you can see is Vicky here is eating
0:24
grass she takes all the energy from the
0:27
grass which we can’t actually do we
0:29
can’t eat grass she digests it multiple
0:32
times and turns it in to milk so we can
0:36
milk our jersey cows twice a day
0:39
or once a day it depends really and they
0:41
can produce up to 6 000 litres of milk
0:45
every year which is 10 times their body
0:48
weight and unlike lots of other more
0:51
commercial breeds of cow the Jersey milk
0:54
is delicious it’s full of goodness full
0:57
of different types of fat and very very
1:00
good for you so you can tell when you
1:02

1:05

1:07
babies anymore she just lives her life
1:08

1:10
younger calves because she’s very good
1:13

1:15
