The Holstein Friesian is the most popular dairy breed worldwide, where they originated from The Netherlands. The Holstein and Friesian are technically two different breeds. The Friesian was very popular throughout the 20th century, where although a dairy breed it was a bit stocky in appearance and was considered more dual purpose. Over the last 2-3 decades the Holstein breed has been integrated into dairy herds, where it is now the dominant breed due to its large size and extremely high yields. Most black and white dairy cows have little Friesian genetics nowadays, such that the breed society in the UK is no longer called Holstein Friesian, but simply Holstein UK.
