Name the breeds of cow with their lactation period?

There is no use doing this because all breeds will lactate for the same amount of time, being around 6 to 10 months on average. Most dairy breeds, especially Holstein and Jersey, will most often go 10 months or more in their lactation, whereas beef breeds stay in that particular time period. Many other not-so-popular dairy breeds also tend to stick to the 10-month lactation period, such as Canadiennes, Dutch Belted, Angeln, Normande and others. Beef breeds include Brahman, Nelore, Guzerat, Charolais, Angus, Hereford, Gelbvieh, Shorthorn and others.
