Papo Black and White Adult Cow

Holstein cattle are easily recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white markings.• Mature Holstein cows typically weigh around 1,500 pounds and stand 58 inches tall at the shoulder, making it the largest of the U.S. dairy breeds. Holstein cows originated in the Netherlands approximately 2,000 years ago. Two breeds of cattle, black animals from the Batavians (present-day Germany) and white animals from the Friesians (present-day Holland), were crossed to create a new breed of cattle.
