A2A2 Mini Jersey BWT Starlight-P Rear Udder, First Calf, Nursing her calf

Starlight was the first Mini Jersey calf born on our family’s farm and she has the sweetest, calmest temperament, just like her mama Moonbeam.

Starlight’s pedigree is predominantly Holterholm and Misty Morning Farm. Both bloodlines of small Jersey cows she comes from have been bred for grazing, A2 milk, polled and smaller stature. Holterholm cows average 6,000 pounds per year (2.42 gallons per day), 5.2% butterfat and 3.8% protein.

Starlight nursed her calf for a year and a half and held her condition well on pasture and hay with no grain supplementation, despite having a disabled leg. She has also inherited her dam’s longer teats.

Starlight has a Silver Registration Certificate from the Purebred Mini Jersey Society (PMJS) and is also registered with the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and the International Miniature Cattle Breeder’s Registry (IMCBR).
