POPULAR BREEDS OF CATTLE AND WHAT THEY'RE USED FOR Cattle come in all shapes and sizes, and each breed has its own special job. Some are raised for meat, some for milk, and a few can do both. Here’s a simple breakdown of well-known cattle breeds and what they’re great at: --- 1. HOLSTEIN - 🥛 Purpose: Milk - 🐄 Known for: Black and white spots, super high milk production.

Something a lot of people are curious about is why black cattle seem to be more desirable/bring more money at sales. The truth is that it’s all just marketing done by the Angus Association, so there’s no real material difference in the meat. If you’re buying a yearling to butcher for meat, don’t waste your money buying a cow just because it has a black hide! #rutherfordlandandcattle #angus #beef #cattleranch #cows #texascattle #aggear #farmlife #agriculture #agribusiness #cattlebusiness | Ruther
