Animals->Cow Dairy cattle (dairy cows ) are cattle cows (adult females ) bred for the ability to produce large quantities of milk , from which dairy products are made. Dairy cows generally are of the species Bos taurus . Historically, there was little distinction between dairy cattle and beef cattle , with the same stock often being used for both meat and milk production. Today, the bovine industry is more specialized and most dairy cattle have been bred to produce large volumes of milk. The United States dairy herd produced 83.9 billion kg (185 billion lbs) of milk in 2007, up from 52.6 billion kg (116 billion lbs) in 1950., Yet there are more than 9 million cows on U.S. dairy farms—about 13 million fewer than there were in 1950.

Cows on farm post cards

Animals->Cow Dairy farming is a class of agricultural , or an animal husbandry , enterprise, for long-term production of milk , usually from dairy cows but also from goats and sheep , which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy factory for processing and eventual retail sale. Most dairy farms sell the male calves born by their cows, usually for veal production, or breeding depending on quality of the bull calf, rather than raising non-milk-producing stock. Many dairy farms also grow their own feed, typically including corn , alfalfa , and hay . This is fed directly to the cows, or is stored as silage for use during the winter season.
