Back to the FutureWelcome to Minijerseyfarm.com, website of the Rockin G Farm in Cleburne, TX and home to some of America's best Old World Jersey Cows. As time progresses things change. Not all change is for the better. There was a time in American agriculture when people believed that breeding larger cows to produce even more milk was something everyone should do. Over the years, we have learned the problem with such a strategy. Larger cows consume more resources including food, water and space. They produce more waste. And for the average small farm, they just aren't a good fit. What if there were a way to find the kinds of cows your ancestors depended on for milk, food and clothing? What would it take to go "back to the future" in raising animals that fit the farm and the farmer? Welcome to the "Rockin 'G' farm" where our goal is to breed the most authentic old world Jerseys you will ever see. "Oh, you mean miniature Jerseys?"Not really. These cows are not toys. They aren't destined for a petting zoo. These are real Jersey cows that are true to the original Jersey genetics. They look like the Jerseys you expect, only smaller. Depending on where you live, American Miniature Jerseys may be referred to as the Barnyard Jersey, Island Jersey, Rabbit-eyed Jersey or Guinea Jersey. Many names for the same cows. Meet "George", our herd sire. He stands 38 inches high at the hip weighs about 700 pounds.
