A Holstein is the premier milk cow (the black and white spotted cow that you see in the milk commercials). They produce more pounds of milk (milk from a cow is weighed by pounds not gallons) per day than any other cow. (They are not to be confused with Jerseys--brown cows with black rims around their noses). Jerseys produce the highest fat content and cream content on average of any cow. Although there are exceptions to every rule, there are no cows in the world that produce an average poundage of milk greater than the Holsteins.

∙ 12y agoAt maturity cows can reach around and over 6 feet at shoulder-height, and weigh upwards of around 1600 lbs. They are often white with black patches on their body, but there are also cows that are black with some white, and Holsteins that are almost all white except for black patches on the face and speckles on the body. Holsteins are typically thin and angular in appearance, and mature females have large, pendulous udders. See the related link below for more info.
