Calf, quite possibly, in US state? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new jersey

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'calf' is the first definition.
(Jersey is a type of cow)

'quite possibly in us state?' is the second definition.
'New Jersey' can be an answer for 'state?' (New Jersey is an example). I am not sure about the 'quite possibly in us' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for new jersey that I've seen before include "The Garden State" , "US state; seasonal gift?" , "Newark's state" , "Wardrobe extension" , "calf?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
