Cow
Part of the Dutch landscape
Two thousand years ago, Batavians and Frisians crossed white and black cows, and the black and white Frisian or Holstein cow was born. In the eighteenth century, the breed nearly died out as a result of cowpox.
A century later, Americans discovered that it gave particularly high milk yields. They imported the cows to the United States. Since then, the black and white cow has been an export product and an icon of our country. A typical Dutch landscape is unthinkable without a black and white cow in a green meadow under a beautiful cloudy sky.
