A raw milk dairy sort of near me has done genetic testing on all their cows so you can pick which you want. I think about 90 percent of their Jersey cows are A2. They don't own any Holsteins (the classic big black and white cows) which are likely to carry the gene for A1 milk. Drawback is the farm's high quality grass-fed product is expensive.


Well worth the money!!!!! I would certainly be willing to pay more for grass fed dairy, espeically A2.

There is some work being done to develop old style cattle, too. Based on rare breeds.
