Holstein Cow Plush Toy – Lifelike and Soft Stuffed Animal for Kids and Collectors

The Holstein Friesian is a world-famous dairy cattle breed, instantly recognizable by its striking black-and-white or red-and-white coat. Originating in the lush fields of Frisia (spanning parts of the Netherlands and Germany), this breed is the star of the dairy world, producing an incredible average of over 22,000 pounds of milk annually.

Here’s the fun bit: each Holstein is totally unique! Their distinctive markings are like fingerprints—no two are the same. Some even boast a rare "blue roan" coat, a bluish hue created by a mix of black and white hairs. Historically, Holsteins weren’t just milk machines—they were dual-purpose, valued for both dairy and beef production.

Holsteins have also made history! The first polled (naturally hornless) Holstein appeared in 1889, paving the way for more humane breeding practices. And yes, even cows can be celebrities! "Pauline Wayne," President Taft’s beloved Holstein, famously grazed on the White House lawn. From their rich history to their modern-day dairy stardom, Holstein Friesians truly stand out as remarkable and iconic animals!
