Friesian Cows

A bit about Friesian cows canvas prints

Friesian cows are more commonly referred to as Holsteins in North America. It is only in the United Kingdom and Ireland that they are popularly called Friesians. They are a breed of dairy cattle that come from the Dutch hinterlands of North Holland and Friesland. They are famous for being the cows that give the highest production of milk in the world. This breed eats a lot of grass, something which there is no shortage of in the regions they thrive in. Their appearance is usually white with splotches of black all over their body. This classic image of the Friesian cow has made its way to the front of more milk cans, both fresh and powdered than can even be counted. Photowall celebrates the classic image of these cows in their natural habitat, with the “Rural Scene” piece in our Friesian cows canvas prints collection. These gentle creatures abound in over 150 countries all over the world. With the emergence of new world markets, the demand for milk has skyrocketed. And this, in turn, has transformed these milk-producing animals into a solid staple in livestock.

Their story in Friesian cows canvas prints

At the turn of the century, a strange illness afflicted these Friesians and forced Europe to stop their export to other countries. In the United States, Holsteins are used exclusively for the production of milk. In an even stranger twist of fate, Friesians were now being imported to Europe from the United States to breed with other varieties of cattle. A newborn calf is around 40 to 50 kilograms when it is born. A full-grown adult can weigh as much as 770 kilograms and can put out an average of 10,000 kilograms of milk a year. The gestation time for each cow is nine and a half months. Photowall’s Friesian cows canvas prints pay tribute to the wonderful gift these amazing animals give to the world in its unique line of prints. A great reminder of the gentleness and domesticity of these cows is highlighted in “Relations”, a piece in our selection of Friesian cows canvas prints that depicts one of these cows, kissing a black and white Dalmatian dog while a ginger cat looks on.
