This photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the late 19th century in Iowa City, Iowa. The image showcases a group of Holstein-Friesian cattle from the renowned Brookbank herd, their coats glistening with the golden hues of autumn. 3. Background: Holstein-Friesian cattle originated from the provinces of Holstein and Friesland in Germany, and were brought to North America in the mid-19th century.

The Brookbank herd, established in the 1850s, was one of the earliest and most successful herds in the United States. 4.
