Guernsey is a breed of dairy cattle originating on Guernsey of the Channel Islands. After laws had been enacted prohibiting the importation of cattle to the Channel Islands except for slaughter, the Guernsey breed came to be recognized. Guernsey cattle, fawn-coloured and marked with white, are noted for the production of milk of a pronounced yellow colour.
