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.
Because the buffalo would bring thicker cows with higher quality meat.
The cow will never produce anymore milk than she is capable of. Selective breeding is used to make her DAUGHTERS produce more than she. It's done be researching bulls who pass the greater milk ability onto his daughters.
Biotechnology, farmers now have the ability to selective breed cows in order to strengthen milk production and longevity.
Eat, stay healthy, & succesfull breed to produce more cows to sell.
Artificial Selection
No, never. Pigs and cows are two entirely different species, making it impossible to produce something even remotely considered a "breed." Pigs and cows cannot interbreed to produce offspring due to the vast genetic differences between these two animals.
No, Highland cattle are primarily beef cattle. They will not produce the amount of milk a dairy breed would, but can be milked.
Dairy cows, those cows that are selected for and bred to produce milk.
Yes. You need to put a bull inside a dairy farm with cows in it so that you'll get the chance to produce a calf for your friends to adopt.
Selective breeding, the farmer will select what bulls to breed to what cows in order to increase milk production.
Cows are bred to produce calves which are often sent to be "made into" beef. So in a nutshell, the answer to your question may very well be "yes."
