Is a Hereford cow's udder different from a Holstein cow's udder?

In: Holstein Cattle [Edit categories]

Answer:

Not in terms of structure. But in terms of size and average milk production, definately. A Holstein has been bred to produce far more milk than her calf can take; a Hereford cow's udder has been designed to produce enough milk that her calf needs to grow on.
