I think you mean breeds because all common cattle are the same species. Just like all dogs are the same species. Actually I guess there are a couple species but they are so closely relatted that they can breed with each other.

And like dogs different breeds have different qualities. Holstein produces the most milk. Some breeds are smaller and better suited for smaller farms. Jersey cows are kind of small but produce a good amount of milk that has more cream.

Some breeds have thick skin like the Brahmin from India. They are often bred with other kinds in places with lots of biting insects and hot weather. Some produce more tender beef or grow faster. So there are a lot of reasons and a lot of breeds.

No. They are different species and incapable of reproduction.

But they would have adorable babies if they could breed!
