OUR HERD
Raised Right, From Day One

OUR GIRLS
Meet the Herd
Every one of our cows has a personality all her own. Here’s who’s living their
best life at Broadmoor Farm right now.
Lily
Lily came into the world on a crisp night in the pasture and has been making herself known ever since. She carries a beautiful paint coat marking on her side — something that catches the eye of anyone who knows what to look for. Curious, brave, and full of personality.
She is the daughter of Broadmoor Farm Luna and Reverence Beledene Oscar {4} – P (JEUSA000174597935)

Marina
Marina is the quiet observer o the group – creamy coat, soft eyes, and a gentleness that’s hard to put into words. She and Lily have grown up together and are inseparable. Marina is exactly the kind of cow that makes a homestead feel complete.
She is the daughter of NW Fern and TDH Dino Smurf (ET).

Fallon
Fallon is a quiet girl who loves people and is happy to join us instead of her herd. She grazes the pasture like she already knows exactly who she is and where she belongs. Easy-going, healthy, and built like a true Jersey – compact, sturdy, and beautiful.

Sophia
Sophia has two speeds: breathtaking and where did she go.
Born in October 2023, this girl is young, beautiful, and absolutely convinced that fences are merely a suggestion. Keeping her in a pasture may require divine intervention — but honestly, it’s hard to stay frustrated when she looks like that. Sleek, perfectly formed, with a stunning ginger coat and a few white spots that make her look like she was painted by hand.
Sophia is still growing into herself, but her genetics are something special. She carries A2/A2 Beta Casein and a Kappa Casein profile that makes her a future standout in both milk quality and cheesemaking potential. She’s going to be something to watch.
We can’t wait to see what this girl becomes — as long as we can find her.

Bess
We brought Bess home as a four-month-old heifer, and she was the sweetest little thing you ever saw. Six years and four calves later? She’s earned the right to be a little salty about it — and we respect that. She knows her worth.
What Bess does best is mama. She is an absolutely exceptional ET (embryo transfer) carrier, and so far she’s batting 1,000 — every single calf she’s carried has been beautiful and healthy. We’re heading into her fourth ET cycle in June 2026, and we’re already looking forward to another stunning Broadmoor baby arriving Spring 2027.
Because of her genetic profile, Bess isn’t part of our milking herd or herdshare program — her role here is something even more special: she’s the one who carries the next generation of this farm’s legacy.

Luna
Luna is proof that the best things in life don’t always arrive on schedule.
She came to us already carrying her third calf — and that little one showed up about a month ahead of when we were expecting her. That’s Luna for you. She does things her way, on her timeline, and she makes it look easy.
Mid-size and beautifully built, Luna is one of the most laid-back cows you’ll ever meet — until you’re 13 seconds late with her feed. Then she will absolutely call you out. She has opinions, and she is not shy about voicing them from the barn.
Luna is a cornerstone of our herdshare milk program. With a perfect BBR and PJA score and A2/A2 Beta Casein genetics, she produces the kind of milk we’re proud to put our name on — rich, wholesome, and easier on digestion.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Miniature Jersey FAQs
What are Mini Jersey cows?
Mini Jerseys are a smaller version of the traditional Jersey dairy breed. They typically stand 42 inches tall or less at the top of the hip bone and weigh 500–800 lbs as mature cows (about half the size of standard Jerseys). They are true miniatures, not dwarfs, and have been selectively bred for smaller size while retaining the gentle nature and high-quality milk the Jersey breed is famous for – because they ARE Jerseys.
Why do we raise Mini Jerseys on our farm?
We chose Mini Jerseys because they are ideal for small-scale, sustainable farming. They require less feed and space than full-size cattle, produce rich, creamy milk perfect for drinking and cheesemaking, and have a calm, friendly temperament that makes them wonderful for families.
How much milk does a Mini Jersey produce?
A Mini Jersey cow typically produces 2–6 gallons of milk per day, depending on her stage of lactation, diet, and genetics. While they produce less volume than larger breeds, their milk is exceptionally high in butterfat (often 5–7%) and protein, making it some of the richest and best-tasting milk available.
Is Mini Jersey milk better than regular milk?
Many people find Mini Jersey milk superior in flavor and creaminess. It has higher butterfat and protein content, which makes it excellent for drinking straight, making yogurt, cheese, butter, and ice cream. It’s naturally more digestible for some people due to smaller fat globules.
What is A2/A2 milk and why does it matter?
A2/A2 refers to the type of beta-casein protein in the milk. Most conventional milk (especially from Holsteins) contains a mix of A1 and A2 beta-casein. A1 beta-casein can be harder for some people to digest and may cause bloating or discomfort.
A2/A2 milk contains only the A2 form of beta-casein, which many people find easier to digest. Jerseys naturally have a high percentage of the A2 gene, and we specifically select and test for A2/A2 genetics in our herd. This makes our milk a great option for those who experience sensitivity to regular dairy but still want to enjoy real milk.
Are Mini Jerseys good for small farms or homesteads?
Yes! Their smaller size makes them much easier to handle, fence, and house. They need less pasture and hay than standard cows, which makes them perfect for properties with limited acreage. They’re also known for being hardy, efficient grazers, and having fewer calving issues.
What is the temperament of Mini Jerseys?
Mini Jerseys are widely regarded as one of the gentlest dairy breeds. They are curious, affectionate, and easy to work with. Many of our cows enjoy human interaction and are great with children when properly handled.
How big do Mini Jersey calves get?
Calves are small and adorable at birth (usually 22 inches or less), making birthing easier on the mothers. They grow steadily but remain much more manageable than standard Jersey or Holstein calves.
What do you feed your Mini Jersey herd?
Our herd grazes on high-quality pasture and is supplemented with hay, alfalfa and sweet beets. We focus on regenerative grazing practices to keep our soil healthy and our cows happy.
How long do Mini Jerseys live?
With good care, Mini Jerseys often live 15–20+ years, longer than many larger dairy breeds. They tend to stay productive for many years with fewer health complications.
Can I buy a Mini Jersey cow or heifer from your farm?
We do sell our Miniature Jerseys. When they are available, we list them on our website, on social media, and in our newsletter.
Please contact us to be added to our waiting list or to inquire about upcoming calves.
Do you offer farm tours or visits to meet the herd?
Due to the risk of exposing our herd to biohazards unknowingly carried on shoes or clothing, we do not offer farm tours at this time. We prioritize the health and biosecurity of our animals above all else. We do share regular photos and updates of the herd on our website and social media.
Are Mini Jerseys registered or purebred?
We register our herd with the American Jersey Cattle Association. We believe this organization maintains the purity standards of the breed and allows us to focus on size, conformation, and milk quality.
What makes your Mini Jersey herd special?
Our cows are raised with gentle handling, rotational grazing, and lots of love. We emphasize animal welfare, soil health, and producing the highest quality milk possible for our farmstead and herd share program.
