[QUOTE="Hereford2, post: 1748110, member: 25296"] We've milked beef cow's, beef/dairy crosses, Jersey's, Dexter's, Brown Swiss,. You can breed a jersey to anything, they get Mastitis easier than the other breeds we've had, jersey cows are generally gentle, But they can produce 3to7 gallons of milk a day, out of 3 quarters, more if they have all 4 quarter's working, just depends on the cow, you have to be careful about milk fever with them,. Buy a cow that's Gentle with you (before you buy it ...) Dexter cattle to much attitude and kicking for my taste, (I'm sure there's gentle ones). Beef cow's and beef crosses gentle minimal kicking, (best if bottle raised). Brown swiss Big Gentle, eat a Lot, produce 3to8 gallons a day depending on the cow. Hard to find, Expensive to buy Our favorite so far are the Brown Swiss, then the Jersey. Also if you are going to hand milk buy a hand exercise ball and squeeze it like you are milking a cow for a month or so before you buy a cow, your hands will thank you (speaking from experience)...
