MEET THE DAIRY COWS: Exploring the 7 top dairy cow breeds in the U.S. during June Dairy Month

Call 563-535-7649 for a free estimate!

When it comes to dairy farming, not all dairy cows are created equal. Each breed has unique qualities that set them apart in terms of appearance, origin, milk production and more.

The seven most prominent American dairy cow breeds currently found in the United States are Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Red and White Holstein, and Milking Shorthorn.

Jersey Jerseys are known for their brown coloring, large expressive eyes and long eyelashes. They originated from the Island of Jersey, a small British Island in the English Channel. They’re small in size, weighing about 1,000 pounds in maturity.

Jerseys have rich, creamy milk that is high in butterfat, making it perfect for cheese, butter and ice cream production.

FUN FACT: In the 1930s, the Borden Co. introduced a Jersey, Elsie the Cow, as their cartoon mascot.

Guernsey

Holstein Holsteins have black and white patches – the iconic dairy cow! Originating from The Netherlands, they were first imported into the U.S. in the 1850s. They are large in size, weighing about 1,500 pounds in maturity.

Holsteins are the superstars of milk production, known for producing the highest quantity of milk compared to other breeds. A single Holstein averages about nine gallons of milk per day. This might be why they are by far the most common dairy cow in the U.S. making up over 90% of the dairy population!

FUN FACT: No two Holsteins have the same spots, they are as unique as fingerprints!

Red and White Holsteins Ayrshire Ayrshire cows have reddish-brown mahogany-colored spots on a white body. They originated from the county of Ayrshire in Scotland and are considered medium in size, weighing about 1,200 pounds in maturity.

They’re hardy cows that can produce high-quality milk with a moderate fat content. They’re also known for their ability to adapt to a wide range of farming conditions.

FUN FACT: Originally from Scotland, Ayrshire cows are often called the “aristocrats” of dairy cows due to their elegance and their ability to produce high-quality milk on rugged terrain.

Brown Swiss Brown Swiss cows are graybrown colored. They originated from Switzerland, and many dairy historians consider this breed to be the oldest of all types of milk cows. They are large in size, weighing about 1,500 pounds in maturity.

Brown Swiss are known for producing a large quantity of milk, particularly prized for its high protein content, making it ideal for cheese-making.

FUN FACT: Brown Swiss cows in Switzerland are taken to high mountain meadows during the summer. The cows wear large cow bells so farmers can find them in foggy mountain pastures.

Guernsey cows are brown or fawn colored with white spots of various sizes on the body or face, originating from the Isle of Guernsey, a tiny island in the English Channel. They’re medium in size, weighing about 1,200 pounds in maturity.

They’re known for producing “golden” milk that has a rich yellowish hue due to its high levels of beta-carotene. Their milk also has higher amounts of butterfat and protein.

FUN FACT: Since the 1950s, Golden Guernsey trademark milk has been sold in the U.S. and Canada as a premium product.

Red and White Holsteins look similar to their black-andwhite relatives but with red and white patches. They originated in the U.S. and Canada when farmers started breeding for the recessive red hair color trait of Holsteins. They’re large in size, weighing about 1,400 pounds in maturity.

Like the traditional Holstein, the red and white variety is a prolific milk producer. Their milk output rivals the blackand-white Holsteins, but their coloring is rarer.

FUN FACT: This type of cow is unique as it is the only dairy cow recognized by the Purebred Cattle Association as purebred even though it can have genetics from several other breeds of dairy cows.

Milking Shorthorns are red, white or roan (a mix of red and white) in color. They originated in Northeastern England in the valley of the Tees Rive and are medium is size, weighing about 1,100 pounds in maturity.

They produce moderate amounts of milk with a balanced fat-to-protein ratio, making their milk versatile for various dairy products.

FUN FACT: The Milking Shorthorn breed was one of the first to enter the U.S., early in the 1780s.

These seven American dairy cow breeds each bring something unique to the table, from high milk yields to rich, creamy butterfat.

Whether it’s the iconic Holstein, the golden milk of the Guernsey or the historical Brown Swiss, dairy farmers and consumers alike benefit from the diversity of these remarkable animals.

The health benefits of dairy

Dairy helps to sustain energy levels Dairy provides a source of high-quality protein and essential amino acids. Protein can curb hunger and help a person feel satiated longer. Dairy can help a person maintain fitness performance and may also be used for weight management.

Dairy promotes gut health Fermented dairy and foods in the dairy group that contain live cultures can add beneficial bacteria to the digestive tract to foster a healthier microbiota, according to U.S. Dairy.

Cheeses, yogurt and kefir are fermented foods. These foods may improve digestion and gut barrier function.

There’s no denying the appeal of dairy in home cooking. Dairy helps make foods silky, creamy and more satisfying. Cheeses in particular can make meals more rich and more flavorful, so much so that they can be truly addictive.

Layering cheesy goodness can set any meal apart. That’s just what happens with “Cheesy Chicken Tortellini Bake” from “The Pampered Chef® Stoneware Inspirations” (The Pampered Chef® Ltd.) by The Pampered Chef® Test Kitchens. Freshly cooked chicken and homemade tortellini can be used for this comforting casserole, but cubed, pre-cooked chicken and refrigerated tortellini also works.

full-fat dairy. Saturated fat can contribute to elevated “bad” cholesterol (LDL) numbers and increase the risk of heart disease. Harvard Health suggests no more than 20 grams of saturated fat per day for the average 2,000-calorie diet, making low-fat dairy options a smarter choice.

Dairy is an important food group for good health that helps to strengthen bones and the immune system.

Dairy supports bone health Calcium comprises the main mineral in the bones of the body.

Healthline advises that dairy is often the best source of calcium in the human diet. Evidence indicates that dairy can help improve bone density, reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis, and lower fracture risk in older adults. Dairy, when consumed with calcium-rich leafy greens and legumes, ensures people get enough calcium to affect bone improvements.

Dairy improves vitamin D levels About one billion people across the globe have vitamin D deficiency, while 50 percent of the population has vitamin D insufficiency, reports the Cleveland Clinic. Vitamin D is produced in the body through exposure to the sun and also comes from dietary sources. Vitamin D is a nutrient the body needs, along with calcium, to build strong bones and keep them healthy. Dairy products are often fortified with vitamin D to work in conjunction with calcium for good health.

DANBY SUB-ZERO FRIGIDAIRE WHIRLPOOL BOSCH LG VIKING

A healthy diet is comprised of a mix of nutrient-rich foods and beverages. The United States Department of Agriculture includes dairy as part of its MyPlate program,which recommends foods and serving sizes of those foods from different food groups. For the purposes of the USDA guidelines, dairy includes milk, cheese, yogurt, lactose-free milk, and fortified soy milk and yogurt. However, dairy also may include cream cheese, sour cream, cream, and butter.

Recommendations regarding dairy consumption depend on age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity. Around two to three cups per day may be advised. However, the USDA says about 90 percent of Americans are not getting enough dairy.

Dairy plays an important role in personal health. Here’s a look at why dairy is a key component of a healthy diet.

CommUnity”, a group exhibition opening with a celebratory event on Friday, June 20.

This group exhibition features the creative works of Lanesboro residents and neighbors. Participants were invited to explore the beauty of crossing divides by creating artwork that combines red and blue, literally and symbolically, to unite in “violet.” This project was inspired by the Violet Protest, a national public art project challenging political polarization.

Submissions for The Driftless Fiber Arts Collective’s Violet Collective were open to all creatives working in any medium, with an emphasis on fiber arts.

The exhibition will be on view at the collective until September.

The exhibition will open June 20 with a celebration at 6:30 p.m. At 7 p.m., participating artists and members of the collective will present, followed by art activities and light refreshments. Sales of artwork made during the opening will support the Driftless Fiber Arts Collective’s programs.

About the Driftless Fiber Arts Collective In January 2025 several women came together to imagine how to take an already hospitable and functional makers

From what was once a quilt shop, the Driftless Fiber Arts Collective has blossomed into a welcoming space for creative community connection, peer learning and interactive projects to challenge the hand and the mind.

Driftless Fiber Arts Collective is located at 108 Coffee Street East, Lanesboro.
