2 Pounds - Charles III Heritage Breeds - Holstein Friesian

Jersey's cattle registry is among the oldest continuously maintained in the world, but the Holstein Friesian is a conspicuous outsider in that tradition — a Continental breed that muscled into British and Irish dairy farming through sheer milk volume rather than butterfat quality. Its inclusion in a Jersey heritage breeds series is quietly pointed: the island's own eponymous breed produces milk so rich in fat it can't legally be called standard milk in some markets, yet the Holstein Friesian became the global default precisely because it out-produces everything else.
