Yotsuba Q&A
- What sort of cows are used for milk production?
- About 99% of the dairy cows in Japan are black-and-white spotted Holsteins.
While rare, about six other breeds (Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Red-and-White Holstein, and British Friesian) are also raised for dairy purposes.
Milk constituents, such as milk fat content, vary depending on the breed of cow.
