yes theres a minature dairy version, Minature Jerseys, they are apparently the most calm, even the bulls are docile. Not to mention the calves are so adorable. and they have the colouring of the large jersey breed. :)

it costs more to dress many smaller cows vs. fewer larger cows so you would think they wouldn't make as much money for the same amount of beef produced.

Probably they do cost a little more to dress per pound of meat, but they cost far, far less to raise (about 1/6th as much as a full-size cow according to this video), so they're really a lot more efficient overall.
