In the USA the vast majority of dairy products come from milk from Holstein cattle, or Holstein crosses. As a breed, 63% of Holsteins produce A1 milk, although the A2 allele is the most common in some/many other breeds of cattle. /2

There are color changing cows! Holstein cattle can have a sneaky color called Black/Red (or Telstar). They are born colored red and white and then turn black and white. This unique color originated in the Canadian bull Roybrook Telstar, born in 1964. ๐ #genetics #cattle #coatcolor #dairy #holsteins
