Since this is weighted more towards dairy cattle rather than beef, higher milk production means higher income income generated on milk sold, especially in the United States where there is no cap or quota as to how much milk (or milk fat, as is the case with supply management in Canada) can be sold per day, month or year. Production weighs heavily towards the amount of milk that a farmer can get from his dairy cows, so if he breeds for higher or maximum milk production in his dairy herd, the more income that he should expect to have to cover other costs incurred in a typical dairy farm operation.
