🏆Battle of the Breeds;
Dairy Month Edition🥛
June is National Dairy Month, and we’re celebrating by shining a spotlight on the six major dairy breeds recognized in the United States by the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA).
Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce each breed, share fun facts, explore what makes them unique, and put them head-to-head in our Battle of the Breeds challenge. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to vote for your favorites and help decide which breed earns the title of Battle of the Breeds Champion.
Every dairy breed brings something special to the industry, from milk production and components to longevity, efficiency, and adaptability. Throughout the series, we’ll take a closer look at what makes each breed unique.
We’re curious…
When you picture a dairy cow, what breed comes to mind first?
For many people, it’s a black-and-white Holstein. But each dairy breed has its own history, strengths, personality, and contributions that help make the dairy industry what it is today.
