In this brief monologue, the speaker explains their preferred breeds for a family milk cow setup. They recommend Jersey cows for milk production, noting their reliability despite a possible dislike for petting. For a bull, they favor the American Milking Devon, a historic breed used by the Pilgrims, valued for its versatility as a milking, beef, and ox breed. The speaker highlights the combined benefits: Jerseys provide strong dairy output, while the American Milking Devon contributes hardiness, beef quality, and ox strength. The resulting calves inherit the dairy productivity of Jerseys and the meat tenderness and thickness of the Devon, making them ideal for both milk and beef purposes.

What kind of cows do we like for the family cow? Well, the milk cows, we like Jerseys. It's hard to go wrong with Jersey, even though she might not like the petting. For a bull, we like the American Milking Devon, a milking breed, a beef breed, an ox breed. That was the cow of choice by the Pilgrims when they came over here. That gets us these beautiful calves. Would be great milking cows. They have the hardiness and the beefiness of the Milking Devon, and then the dairy production of a Jersey. But then for the beef, oh my word, they have the tenderness of the Jersey but the thickness of the American Milking Devon. Absolutely delicious.
