Yes!! Dairy breeds such as Holsteins are suitable for dairy farming, for instance. Beef breeds such as Herefords or Angus are suitable for extensive ranching conditions where minimal management and almost no human intervention is needed for them to thrive. For more intensive beef operations where humans are intervening a lot in the production of beef cattle (from feeding to breeding), breeds like Charolais, Simmental and Limousin thrive.
