Although a light breed this strain gives a high milk yield. A good milking cow should be wedge-shaped and long from the hip bones to the pin-bones. The udder should extend well forward, with the teats evenly placed. The head of a Kerry cow. This strain acclimatises itself easily to tropical countries. British milk production No. 2. For a high milk yield, look for these points in a dairy cow. Kerry cows, as illustrated above, are a hardy breed and, although light in weight, give a good milk yield with a high fat content. Good milking qualities can be inherited, so care is taken by British farmers to select a suitable bull for breeding. Points to look for in a good dairy cow are that her body should be wide between the hind legs; she should be long from the hip bones to the pin bones; her body should be deep, with arched ribs; the pin bones should be well apart and her withers should be narrow on top. A good milking cow should be wedge-shaped: narrower in her forequarters than in her hindquarters. The udder should extend well forward, while plenty of loose skin at the back of the udder, between her legs, is a good point. Her milk veins and milk wells should be well developed and her coat should be glossy, with a loose and pliable skin.
