A cow should have offspring that have superior genetics to her. This includes good or better milking ability, mothering ability, calving ease, longevity, good weaning weights, good fertility and conformation, ability to convert forage efficiently, and have good masculine characteristics (for her sons) or feminine characteristics (in her daughters).
If a cow is bred to produce calves for the market, they must have high weaning weights and great carcass characteristics.
If a cow was bred to produce calves for dairy production, her daughters must have good milking ability (more quantity than quality) in order to be productive in the dairy herd.

Why are labradors selectively bred?
Labradors are selectively bred for their hunting qualities. They have been bred to have webbed paws so they can swim into water to retrieve the fowl that their owners have shot. When retrieving the bird, hunters want the dogs to have the softest mouths possible so not to damage the bird more than necessary.
What is an example of a selective bred animal or plant?
Dogs Dogs have been selectively bred for different purposes, such as guard dogs, sheepdogs, tracker dogs and "cute pets" Wheat Wheat has been selectively bred for higher yields, shorter stems to reduce wind damage and greater resistance to diseases Horses Horses are selectively bred and technology can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling.

What animals do you selectively breed in Britain?
This probably isn't one of the best answers ever but animals like cattle (cows) are selectively bred so that the consumers can find what they want. Say for example a farmer bred a cow so that the meat isn't fatty- this means that people might prefer this as this is the meat they like best.- selective breeding however is probably not the best idea as the cow may not live its normal, most natural life. The process does not harm the animals but but can be risky especially if the animal you are breeding has an unknown disease.

Why would a cow farmer want to selectively breed his cows?
To improve genetics in the herd, from things like better milking ability and quantity (for dairy herds) to other things like better carcass characteristics in calves, better mothering ability, calving ease, docility, etc. in beef cattle/cows.
Printing worth the coupon cost?
The key to grocery coupons is selectively printing and using coupons for products that you would normally want to purchase. Using ink and paper to save $0.50 on something you don't need or want would not be worthwhile.
How do Breeders cross dissimilar individuals to bring together the best of both organisms?
Breeders cross dissimilar individuals by selecting traits from each parent that they want to combine in the offspring, and then mating those parents to produce hybrids. By selectively breeding individuals with desirable traits, breeders can bring together the best characteristics of both organisms in the offspring. This process is known as hybridization or crossbreeding.
