Description topics
- Other cows
- Cows of 2 years and older, like cull cows that are fattened for slaughtering, and suckling cows.
- Other cows, total
- From 2013 the separate observation of underlying categories is discontinued; only the total remains available.
- Cows for fattening (>= 2 years)
- Cows aged 2 years or older, that are fattened after having calved at least once; includes cull dairy cows (cows taken out of milk production to be slaughtered).
- Suckling cows (>= 2 years)
- Suckling cows aged 2 years or older (calved at least once).
Suckling cows are cows bred for fattening, whose nursing calvesare allowed to suckle and that therefore do not produce milk.
