Holsteins
Holsteins are a breed of dairy cattle known for their distinctive black and white markings. They are one of the most popular dairy breeds worldwide, primarily raised for milk production. Holsteins are large animals, with adult cows typically weighing between 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. Their high milk yield makes them a preferred choice for dairy farmers.
Originating from the Netherlands, Holsteins have been selectively bred for their productivity. They are known for their calm temperament, which makes them easier to handle. Holsteins can produce a significant amount of milk, often exceeding 22,000 pounds per year, contributing greatly to the dairy industry.
