Dairy cattle are those primarily raised for their milk as part of dairy farming. Dairy cattle are breeds of cattle specifically raised for the production of large quantities of milk. This milk is processed into dairy products such as cheese, butter, yogurt, and cream. Dairy farming plays a critical role in the agricultural economy worldwide, where dairy farming is both a commercial and subsistence activity. There are several popular breeds of dairy cattle globally, including Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Brown Swiss. Holstein-Friesian and Jersey cattle are particularly common due to their high milk production and adaptability to local conditions. Holsteins are preferred for large-scale commercial farming, while Jerseys are popular among smallholder farmers.
