These black and white cows are actually Holsteins. They are most quickly recognized by their distinctive color markings and outstanding milk production. My grandparents had them growing up. Always thought their markings were so pretty. They have the highest milk production in the world.
Funny, the title sounds like I am writing about crazy cows. Nope. These cows are pretty smart. Alibb’s Alphabet Crazy challenge is what is crazy. 🙂
After the dairy farm sold out to the housing project, I did not see the cows. But just up to road more neighbors have fields full of these beauties. I am so glad I can still visit these cows.

Love these cows, great photo
We too have cows in those colors. I don’t know what kind they are
Here is big farm house of my husband friend.there are many cows and goats, oftenly, we are invited there for delicious BBQ party. That’s great fun there.
I’ve only seen them in photos and on milk cartons LOL
I love seeing them grazing in the fields.
That’s great to know!
Also good to know the housing projects didn’t affect them too much!
Yes it did, the cows are gone from behind my house now! This was taken before the dairy farm left. Now I have to go up the road to see them. 🙁
I may have seen without knowing which breed they are from.
I have seen them my entire life and love the colors.
Great shot, when I picture a farm it always has a black and white one!
Thanks, it does seem like a typical farm cow. Love these. My sister collected mugs, ceramic statues, aprons, all kinds of stuff for her kitchen.
There are many cows in my region. I love these cows.
Thanks, glad to hear Branka.
I love these cows. I think they are rather quite majestic to look at.
I agree with you, always my favorite.
I don’t think we have these here,
What kind of cows do you have Dawn?
There are many cows in my region. I buy fresh milk that hasn’t gone through any processing.
That is cool. I buy the lactose-free milk.
We have one around here who rears cows – the only one around Their cows take strolls in front of our gate. And yes, I have taken photos (lol)
I always liked these Holstein and their colors.
I almost assumed that we were going back to school with you. hehehe
Ha! That would be fun to start all over again. Good to see you.
The reality is that life is one big school, We’re always learning.
That is so true, and I always learn from your poems. Nature is a huge teacher in my life as well.
For now it’s a journey short of globe trotting.
There were grazing cows when we moved to this village in 2001 but they are gone now.
Did they look like these cows?
There are several different breeds out there.
We have them in the farming regions of our country, Carol, we also have a similar species, (black and white markings) called Vrieslanders which come from a part of the Netherlands where my ancestors came from. Thanks for sharing.
Those sound beautiful as well. I have always loved cows. Thanks for sharing the information about yours as well!
I usr miss the ones behind the house at the dairy farm, now houses. 🙁
Thank you so much for your comment and visit. Appreciated!
How does this happen. I had another post open as I typed, and the comment showed up here.
These cows also live with us, dear Carol
That is great, I love these best of all.
I saw them growing up on the farm as well.
Ohio is full of farms and cows in the more rural areas. Thank you for a great picture and challenge entry.
You are welcome and you probably see a lot more cows than I do.
Read about them, but never seen alive. Amazing post & photo!!!
Thank you, they are beautiful cows.
