I too have thought off and on about getting a Jersey. You know why I do not? I just do not know what I would do with that much milk. At 50, I do not much need or want to drink milk. 7 of my kids are grown and gone, and my 3 year old is good for a gallon every 4 days or so.
It seems there are so many restrictions about selling fresh milk (if I recall correctly) that I would not even want to think about it. I am sure there are plenty of people who would "take it off my hands" but honestly, I am not going to put that much time and money into anything just to give it away. I have done to much of that it in my life already lol.
I wish I would have gotten on the stick and done it 20 years ago when I had a ton of kids at home.
Who knows? I may yet do it. I am prone to flights of foolishness.
