Purebred Animals
Our cows are genetically confirmed A2A2 mid mini Jerseys to ensure the highest quality product with potentially superior health benefits to store-bought A1A2 milk.
Easier to Digest
A2A2 milk from Jersey cows does not contain the A1 form of casein (milk protein), making it ideal for those who experience dairy sensitivities with store-bought milk.
Health Promoting Nutrients
Fresh home-produced A2A2 milk is rich in complete protein, vitamins, minerals, and health promoting omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to brain health and lower risk of heart attack and stroke.*
Ideal for Your Homestead or Small Farm
We take pride in raising quality cows and want you and your family to experience the tremendously satisfying experience of owning your own mid sized mini jersey and enjoying premium dairy products from the freshest possible source.
A2A2 mid sized miniature jersey cows typically produce 3-4 gallons of milk each day, which is a more manageable amount than larger sized Jerseys that produce 9-10 gallons per day. And because they are a little larger than the micro or mini, they can be comfortably milked sitting on a stool rather than bending down or kneeling.
Measuring 42-48 in at the hip, mid sized mini Jerseys have the best “feed-to-milk” conversion which means they more easily maintain their weight while producing milk at their peak. This means they can be sustained on less acreage, which makes them ideal for the family homesteader.
Quality You Can Count On
Our miniature jersey cows are genetically confirmed A2A2 through UT Davis testing and are registered with the Mini Jersey Herdbook which requires height at three years of age and genetic testing confirming A2A2 non chondro (Dexter mix) non dwarfism.

Treated Like a Member of the Family
Because our cows have been handled with love and care from birth, they have a gentle temperament and bond easily to those who feed and take care of them. This provides a safe way to introduce home dairy production to the entire family.
With a mid sized mini Jersey from North Texas Mini Jerseys on your land, properly supervised children can learn how to care for animals while gaining new respect for the effort and attention required to make some of their favorite foods like butter, cheese and ice cream. This makes the experience of eating these foods even more enjoyable and encourages a sense of gratitude, delight, and connection to the land and all of its creatures.
A Healthy Alternative to Store-Bought Milk
A2A2 milk has been found to be more easily digestible for those with sensitivity and is a tremendous source of protein (for skin and muscle), vitamins and minerals (Vitamin A, D, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, potassium), as well as omega-3-fatty acids which have been linked to lower triglyceride levels and thus lower risk of heart disease and stroke (WebMD).
Additionally, having control over the animal's diet and environment can confer additional health benefits, including increased omega-3s from consumption of more pasture grass. In fact, one study found 147% more omega-3 fatty acids in the milk of grass fed cows. Omega-3s are being investigated for a large range of benefits, including:
-
Reducing changes of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.*
-
Possible reduction of auto-immune symptoms*
-
Relieving some symptoms of depression*
-
Promoting healthy fetal brain development*
-
Lowering chances of childhood asthma from indoor air pollutants*
-
Improving symptoms of ADHD in some children*
-
Protecting against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and dementia*
