Holstein cows produce an average of 3.5% butterfat with an average of 17,000 pounds of fluid milk per year. That would be 595 pounds of butterfat per year. Holsteins are the highest total fluid milk producers, but are on the low side of percent butterfat and percent protein.

Even so, if you compare Holsteins to breeds that produce higher butterfat (like Jerseys and Guernseys), the Holstein will produce more total butterfat in a year due to the higher volume of fluid milk that they produce.

Are female beef cows milk cows?

No. Cows are female, they're mature female bovines that have had a calf. Beef cows are genetically selected to produce more beefy frames than dairy cows are, and thus only produce enough milk for their calves. Beef cows are typically not selected for increased milk quantity like other dairy breeds are (including Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss), and thus, unlike dairy cows, do not produce so much milk that their one calf can't drink it all at one nursing.
