This is like asking, "How much does a car cost?" Or, "How much does a Ford cost?" Not all Jersey dairy cows are the same, so the prices will not be the same. An older unregistered Jersey-type dairy cow that is dry (not currently lactating (producing milk) with no milk records, etc will bring a fraction of the price of a registered Jersey in milk and in her prime from a pedigree of top producing cows with high appraisal scores. The answer: from several hundred to several thousand, with the occasional top cow bringing quite a bit more.

Answer 3

The cost of a Jersey cow will depend on several factors.

First of all (and usually most importantly in regards to the price tag), is genealogy and whether or not she is a registered animal (for example with the AJCA). If she is registered, then you should be able to get her registration papers which will tell you who her sire and dam are and also who the sires and dams of those animals were, her place of birth, who was her breeder, who was her first owner, and her registered name. I know is sounds silly for a cow, but this is all true. Now, if she comes from a desirable geneaology, then she will obviously be more expensive (for example, if her sire is known for producing good cattle or healthy calves and has developed a name for himself, then she (as his offspring and thus carrying his name and genetics) will, as a result, be more expensive. In the same turn, if her dam is a well known show cow or known to be a good producer, then she will be more expensive). All that being said, a fancy show cow could cost upwards of US $100,000 if she has won high accolades or is well known or is the calf of such an animal. However, if you're purchasing an unregistered animal who isn't of show caliber, then you might pay $500-$1500.

Secondly, the price will depend on the age of the cow. The term "cow" in dairy terms means a female bovine who has given birth to at least 2 calves and has thus undergone two full seasons/cycles of birth and milking. A "heifer" is a female bovine who is between the age of birth and giving birth to her second calf (or preparing to begin her second milk cycle). If you're purchasing an unbred heifer, you would most likely pay $500 + depending on her genealogy and health. Some heifers are worth upwards of $1000 when they hit the ground solely based upon their genealogy and sex. If you're purchasing a bred heifer, then the price will be similar, but likely more since you're technically purchasing two cows. If you're purchasing an already milking cow, then you will likely pay upwards of $750, but again depends on her genealogy and health. Once a cow reaches 4 or 5 years of age, she is considered past her milking prime, and thus her value will begin to decrease...which leads me to my next point.

Her health. Aside from age, these are health factors to take into consideration when purchasing a dairy cow. Has she had the necessary vaccinations? Is she of a healthy weight? Has she been maintained on proper feed? Does she currently have a sickness or parasite problem? Has she had debilitating injuries or sicknesses in the past (i.e. mastitis)? Obviously a healthy animal is worht more than a sick one.

The next thing I would say goes into the price of a dairy cow is, yes, her aesthetics. If you're looking at Jerseys, then a Jersey cow with more characteristic coloration and hide patters is likely to be more expensive (i.e. a Jersey should not have spots or blotches, but can have varying hues of brown coloration). Does she walk correctly, or is sickle-hocked? Are her ears and tail intact? Have her hooves been maintained properly? Is her back straight, or is it kinked? Are her hooks and pins at relatively even levels? Is her udder symmetrical and full? Are her teats in the proper positioning? Does she have extra teats? I guess you're generally looking for a good-looking, healthy animal.

The final thing I would say would effect the price of a cow is how tame she is. A cow who will let you pet and milk her without fussing is guaranteed to be more expensive than a bat-shit crazy cow who would sooner kick your face in than let you touch her udders. Also, is she halter-broken? Is she accustomed to machine milking, or hand milking? Does she cringe or flinch when you touch her? Does she disallow you to approach her?

These are all factors you must consider when purchasing a dairy cow. Jerseys are particularly desirable for their small size (which is more conducive to a small, family operation) and their rich milk (which his higher in butterfat content than any of the other dairy breeds). These factors cause Jerseys to be more expensive, however a Holstein who can milk twice as much has her advantages too.

So, if you're buying an old, hideous, sickly cow who is unregistered and you know nothing about her you have a good chance of paying less than $100 and you might even get her for free. On the other end of the spectrum, if you're buying a top-notch, healthy, beautiful show cow who just whipped Willie-Mae in the show ring in Louisville, KY and who has a long, recorded genealogy of fine cattle and responsible owners/breeders then you're likely to pay way over $250,000. If you're looking for a good average of a healthy cow, but nothing too showy or special, and is tame enough to milk, then you're looking at a $750-$1000 average. Again, this is for Jerseys, other breeds are larger and produce more milk, so they can be more expensive. BUT, Jerseys are the best dairy cattle out there bar none.
