Traveling through time and continents, let's explore the rich diversity that shaped agriculture and rural life. From the misty hills of County Donegal in Ireland, where the iconic Highland Cow roams, to the lush pastures of Switzerland, home to the Swiss Simmental breed, each cattle type carries a unique story. Picture a woman in a bygone era, sitting comfortably on a milking stool, hand milking a cow in a black and white photograph from the early 1900s.

In the Emerald Isle, the Holstein-Friesian breed, with its distinctive black and white markings, dominates the dairy landscape, particularly in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. The Friesian Cattle, also known as the "Black and White Breed," graze peacefully in the lush fields of Ireland, while their counterparts in Bantry Bay, Co. Cork, contribute to County Cork's thriving dairy industry. The powerful Hereford Bullocks, with their distinctive red color, can be found in various pastures across the United States and Ireland, demonstrating the global reach of these iconic breeds.
