But then you have small herds where the cows were originally Jerseys
with a Jersey Bull. But then the next bull was a registered Angus. Now
the next generation of milk cows was half angus and half jersey and all
black. As I recall the milk was still better than a Holstein's. There
are a lot of cross-bred cows out there in the world.
