Marketing - Agriculture | | German term or phrase: Mutterkuh | Die Mutterkuhhaltung ist besonders für Nebenerwerbslandwirte und für die extensive Grünlandbewirtschaftung ein interessantes Produktionsverfahren.
-> ist das "breeding cow"? |
| | | beef cow | Explanation:
Mutterkuhe are cows raised for beef, i.e., calf, production, rather than milk. I did a "Praktikum" on a "Gutshof" dedicated to Mutterkuhhaltung. The calves were also finished on this farm as well. Suckler cow may be correct, but I'd say beef cow, especially for US audiences. The cows on this farm were known as "deutsche Angus," which are mostly Aberdeen angus but with some Simmental and Gelbvieh blood as well, and these breeds are beef, rather than dairy, breeds. |
