Sad to say, the main difference is the obvious distinction in what they're bred for. A dairy cow has been specially bred to produce large volumes of milk, while a beef cow has been specially bred to accumulate large volumes of muscle (which becomes the meat people will eat). Dairy cattle do not have to have genes that would cause them to accumulate much meat on their bones, since their primary purpose is producing milk (which is why Veal, the baby calves of dairy cattle, is usually so lean). Beef cattle do not have to have genes that would make them produce milk, sine their primary purpose is to bulk up and produce a nice slab of steak. :'( Poor Angus.
