We have a Jersey.  They do forage well, but you will not be able to keep up 
much milk production on forage alone the way goats can.  For that they need 
grass or hay.

Around here a Jersey that the commercial Jersey dairies reject but which is 
fine homestead use (three gallons a day and she hasn't been freshened in four 
years) goes for about $600.  Registered and up to commercial production 
standards will be a lot more.   </HTML>
