190. Dutch Belted cattle. — This 
breed is readily distinguished from 
other breeds of cattle by the charac- 
teristic color, which is more or less 
ornamental. They are only fair in 
milk and butter-fat production, and 
no better than the other dairy breeds 
for beef, hence they are not popular 
in America, where only a few are to 
be found (Fig. 50). 
191. Brown Swiss cattle. — This breed is often classified as 
belonging to the dual-purpose type. This type comes between the 
beef and dairy type, combining in 
one animal the valuable qualities 
of dairy and meat types. Brown 
Swiss cattle are distinguished by 
their form and color. They rank 
only fair as milk and beef pro- 
ducers and are not especially popu- 
lar in America (Fig. 51). 
192. French Canadian cattle. — 
In type this breed shows considerable resemblance to the Chan- 
Fic. 50.— The Dutch Belted cow. 
Fre. 51. — The Brown Swiss cow.
