If you've never been lucky enough to see one up close, Jersey cows are rather cute wee animals. These two - and their handlers - were well presented, at the Limavady Show earlier this year:

I guess the ribs are meant to show, although the way those hind bones stick out make them do seem a tad undernourished to the untrained eye (i.e., me). Although you can't see it here, obviously, Jerseys are the most lovely light truffle colour and they are about half the size of some of the larger breeds. I snapped one a few years back (here) which, reading that post again, reminds me they shave the animals along the rib lines to make them more prominent for showing. And why not, eh?
