The Guernsey is a breed of cattle used in dairy farming. It is fawn in color with white markings, and is particularly renowned for the rich flavor of its milk, as well as its hardiness and docile disposition. As its name implies, the Guernsey was bred on the British Channel Island of Guernsey. It is believed to be descended from two breeds brought over from nearby France, Isigny cattle from Normandy and the Froment du Léon from Brittany. The Guernsey was first recorded as a separate breed around 1700. For more about the breed see the Wikipedia page Guernsey cattle.
