History
The History of the Alderney Cow
The term Alderney Cow found in literature from Tobias Smollet to A.A.Milne, indicates a small, fawn, dairy cow, once popular in England with the landed gentry and prosperous farmers, often used as a house cow and yielding delicious rich milk and yellow cream. These animals were probably known as Alderneys because all Channel Island cattle, whether transported for sale from Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney or even France, arrived in England from the last port of call - Alderney - in what was known in the ports as the Alderney Boat.
