Holstein cow
Black-white dairy bovine
A Holstein cow is a dairy cow of a black-and-white breed originating in the Netherlands and northern Germany.
Holsteins are the dominant dairy breed worldwide, prized for high milk production.
The distinctive patchy coloring makes them the iconic image of a dairy cow: Holstein cows dotted the hillside pasture.
Also called Holstein-Friesian or simply Holstein.
