Here is an article about a dairy farmer who says his Holsteins produce 10 gallons a day each:

However, I suspect this is the high end of milk production and requires giving the cows hormones (BGH) to achieve those yields, because of the following description of a 1920s Holstein herd: http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf109nb1qf/

It says, "High grade Holstein herd. F. E. Baxter Ranch. The production of these cows during the summer of 1921 averaged 80 gallons per day for 20 head." So, that would be 4 gallons a day per cow, during peak (summer) production back when BGH was not available. Of course, breeding has also probably increased milk productivity since then, as well.

How much milk does a brown Swiss produce a year?

Holstein cows produce an average of 3.5% butterfat with an average of 17,000 pounds of fluid milk per year. That would be 595 pounds of butterfat per year. Holsteins are the highest total fluid milk producers, but are on the low side of percent butterfat and percent protein. Even so, if you compare Holsteins to breeds that produce higher butterfat (like Jerseys and Guernseys), the Holstein will produce more total butterfat in a year due to the higher volume of fluid milk that they produce.
