They don't, certainly not by choice. They are built to give their calves milk, not humans. It's us humans who have chosen to take advantage and manipulate cows so that they produce more milk than their calves need so that we can take it and drink it or make other food products from it.

All of them.

However, if you are referring specifically to those breeds that are bred and raised to produce milk, they would be Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Milking Devon, Brown Swiss, Montbeliard, Canadienne, Dutch Belted, Milking Shorthorn and many others.
