When I was over in the East I saw herds of cows. They were black and white ones - ? dairy cows? Why do they have black and white cows over there and brown ones over this side?

black and white are called British Friesians = milking cows , they give a higher yield of milk than any other cow .
brown cows could one of many breads, but more than likley herefords = breed of beef cattle , better for beef than milk
though not the best for better beef you would more than likely want an aberdeen angus ..

I studied at collage to become a farmer , but it was to dam cold in the winter, so gave up ..
:wink:

I never studied to be a Farmer, but do not Friesian cattle originate fron Holland [ Friesland ] and do not the Black and White Canadian Holstien, beloved of British farmers, not give much more milk, as they are much bigger.


I think that the 'Black Angus ' of the best steaks in the world fame also comes in a fetching colour of brown :sweaties

Funy how the subject of cows keeps coming up......

In UDDERSfield we have black and white cows, brown cows, highland cattle - you name it we've got it! :lol:

Did you know that when all the cows in a field are lying down, it means it's that rain is on the way? :lol:

Oh dear, this is really sad :!:

Pam :lol:

JGG

Is that an Aberdeen Angus?

You're right I haven't seen any round here, but we're having AA steak tonight, with mushrooms, chips, onion rings, mange tout, and a slurp or two of red wine!

Pam :D
