The Holstein or Friesian cow is a dairy cow that is known to be the highest in dairy production. The breed was developed in North Holland and Friesland (not in Holstein, Germany.) It is black and white due to artificial selection by breeders.

Holsteins are known by their distinctive markings and outstanding milk production. Each animal usually has black ears, white feet and a white end of the tail.
