Dairy cattle (e.g., Holstein, Jersey)

Dairy cattle, such as Holstein and Jersey breeds, are specialized cows bred for milk production. Holsteins are the most common, known for their high milk yield and black-and-white markings. Jerseys are smaller, produce less milk but have richer, creamier milk with higher butterfat content. These breeds are raised on farms, where they are milked regularly, providing dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt. Their care involves proper nutrition, health management, and comfortable living conditions to ensure efficient milk production. Each breed's traits make them suited for specific dairy needs and farm environments.
