DANGERS TO THE JERSEY COW The Dangers to the Jersey cow are: the weather, humans, dogs and foxes. The weather is dangerous for the adults and calves. Because if it’s raining the cows can get wet and get diseases. If it’s really hot the cows can get dehydrated and they can get cooked alive. If it’s cold the cows can get really bad diseases and if there is no medication they can die. Humans are dangerous because if they do the wrong thing to the cows the cows can be really harmed. Dogs and Foxes are dangerous to the calves because if the calves are new-borns the dogs and the foxes will attack them first because they are usually small and weak.

APPEARANCE Jersey cows come in various different colours. Jersey cows can come in Brown, they can be red, they can be charcoal, they can be dark brown, and they can be white. Heifers (females) can weigh up to 800 to 1,200 pounds (362 kg – 544 kg). And Bulls (males) can weigh up to 1200 pounds to 1, 800 pounds.(544 kg – 816 kg).

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The Jersey Cow has 4 stomachs. Each of the stomachs has their own powers. The 1 st stomach can hold about 100 litres of chewed grass. In the 2 nd stomach the grass forms up into a ball. Then the ball is swallowed again and it goes into the 3 rd and 4 th stomach and it’s broken down into smaller pieces. And that’s how the digestive system work.
