Other Features

The face of the Jersey is noticeably dished (concaved) along with the typical mealy or deer muzzle and a pale halo surrounds the darker skin of the nose. This dairy breed is short-horned and sometimes polled.

The whole style of the Jersey is dainty, aristocratic, and almost deer-like. Very few of the world's cattle have this quality or have calves that look like a fawn.
