What is a dairy cows breed?
Milk is the most important product that dairy cows have to offer, and it has become sort of a necessity for dairy farmers to being breeding heifers as soon as they are able to. A cow cannot produce milk until after calving or parturition (or giving birth). So at around two years of age, the heifers are bred to give birth and officially become dairy cows that can produce milk. Dairy cows will reach its milk production peak at around 40 to 60 days after giving birth. After that, production will steadily decrease. Eventually the milking will cease when the cow is dried off after about 305 days. The dairy cow can calve again a year after her first birth. For high production cows, though, it is viewed that 13 or 14 month cycles is appropriate because high production cows are more difficult to breed.
