Not the sort of thing I would get too concerned about at this stage unless it carried on for a few days. Mine are going through "spring fever" - at least that's what I call it - and some are doing much the same thing. When I brought them in for milking they roared across the paddock with tails up in the air, had a scrummage at the gate, roared across the next paddock to the race and across the bridge. They liked the noise they made on the bridge so much they all turned around and roared across it again. One of these cows has arthritis but suddenly it disappeared  The lead cow got down on her knees and proceeded to try and dig up the race with her horns and head, then got up and belted down to the cow shed panting and worn out with the others not much better.
Once in a blue moon cows carry on like idiots and it sounds to me that your little Jersey is having what my mother would have called "a mad half hour".
Cheers,
Ronnie
