Lactose free cows?

There are people selling lactose free jersey cows is this a real thing? I can't have lactose so I'm interested in one of these as I was already going to add another dairy cow to my herd one with milk I could drink would be great. I'm just not sure this is real my mother in law has a friend of a friend that wants to sell some of theirs they want $2500 each....

I don't think that's possible. Maybe they are talking about A2 milk Jerseys, some people with lactose intolerances are supposedly able to drink A2 milk without any problems.

That might be A2 but that is not what they are "claiming." Although if I could drink it I would be happy

Before buying one of their cows, I'd ask them to give you a gallon. Then see if you can drink it.
