MAISIE THE COW 7

The Holstein-Friesian breed of dairy cattle originated in North Holland and Friesland. Commonly called Holsteins in the United States, these large cattle with sharply defined black and white spotted markings are believed to have been bred for their dairy qualities for two thousand years. They produce a high yield of milk which has a low butterfat content. This is the same herd as Maisie, and this is a shot of another cow but more traditional in colour. The piece of string around its neck is a sign that the cow should not be milked, possibly because it is soon to calf but I cannot be sure about that. It's a lovely cow and looks in good shape. This is Park Farm, Ramsbottom, and the date is Sunday 7th October 2007. John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
