dairy herd
Farmer's milk source
A dairy herd is a group of cows kept primarily for milk production rather than meat.
The term distinguishes these animals from beef cattle: The dairy herd produces about two thousand gallons a day.
Dairy herds require regular milking and specialized management compared to cattle raised for slaughter.
