What are the best cows for milk?
There are other breeds that are good milkers, but don’t give as much milk. Irish Dexters are good milkers. They can provide for a family’s needs while raising their calf. They are very fertile, good mothers & bear thier calves w/out help (unture of some of the larger breeds.) They also provide the family w/ great tasting beef & are smaller than any other breed of (non-miniture) cattle. They are good pets, being very docile & freindly. They are easy on facilites & are ideal for the small family farm that just wants a single cow for the families milk. This is what the breed was developed for, on the poor soils of the Irish highlands. http://www.ansi.okstate.
