Unique Jersey Calf Born on Galician Farm, Owner Hopes for More Cheese

A unique event unfolded recently on a farm in Galicia, Spain, as a Jersey cow named Marisol gave birth to a healthy calf. This birth is particularly noteworthy as Marisol is reportedly the only Jersey cow on a farm primarily populated by Rubia Gallega cows, a traditional Galician breed known for its meat. The farmer, who shared footage of the newborn, expressed delight at the new arrival. "Our Marisol is truly unique! Now we can make cheese!" the farmer exclaimed, highlighting the Jersey breed's reputation for rich milk production. The video shows the wet, newborn calf attempting to stand next to its mother on a bed of hay, with other calves also present in the barn. In an interesting development, the farmer also introduced another small calf to Marisol, hoping the mother would accept it, potentially to avoid the need for manual milking. The outcome of this attempt was not immediately clear, but the farmer noted the cow's full udder, suggesting abundant milk. The birth underscores the diverse practices and occasional surprises within local farming communities.
