dairy cows
Uddered farm animals
Dairy cows are cattle bred and raised specifically for milk production rather than meat.
The term distinguishes them from beef cattle: The farm keeps both dairy cows and beef cattle.
Holstein-Friesians, with their distinctive black-and-white markings, are the most common dairy breed.
A dairy cow typically produces milk for several years before being culled.
