Portuguese term or phrase: vaca de leite
Como devo interpretar a resposta dada pequenos produtores para: vaca de leite- normalmente possuem apenas 1 animal para consumo familiar ou venda em pequenas quantidades - nao se trata de producao em escala. Seria isso algo como cow for milk? Me soa estranho, por isso peco ajuda. Obrigada desde ja.

agree  Adalberto Brito: I had suggested "milk cow". However, "dairy cow" looks better because it is a more comprehensive term for that context.
