After 2008, there was some pressure for Jersey dairymen to attempt to increase the milk production per cow. This led to possibly securing options from outside the island. [12] From 2020 onward there was a further challenge with COVID-19 while seeking the "maximum productivity and business efficiencies". [13]

Young's Jersey Dairy produces about 75,000 US gallons (280,000 L) of ice cream per year [2] and approximately 44,000 pounds (20,000 kg) of cheese. [6] Half of all their cheese produced is sold as cheese curds. [6] They maintain a herd of approximately 50 Jersey cows; the milk from the cows is used to produce their cheese. [6]
The average for a single dairy cow in the US in 2007 was 9,164 kg (20,204 lb) per year, excluding milk consumed by her calves, [6] whereas the same average value for a single cow in Israel was reported in the Philippine press to be 12,240 kg (26,980 lb) in 2009. [27] High production cows are more difficult to breed at a two-year interval.
Cow Milk Production by State in 2016 After a brief rise following the Great Recession of 2008-9, milk prices crashed again in the late 2010s to well under $3 a gallon at major grocers in the United States.

Initially production performance was measured by milk testing at shows during the 1860s, with 24-hour butter tests starting in 1893. These were replaced in 1912 by a system of recording the weight of milk yielded by the individual cattle, which was the forerunner of the system of milk recording carried out to this day.
