Hint: Dairy farming is a class of farming for the long-term processing of milk that is processed for the eventual sale of a dairy product (either on the farm or in a dairy factory, either of which can be called a dairy factory).

Complete answer:
Indigenous breeds are categorized under three utility / purpose-based categories-
(a) Milk races / Milk races;
B) Breeds with a dual purpose;
C) Breeds of draught.
The cows that have high milk yields are milk breeds, and the male animals are sluggish or weak working animals. Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, Gir, and Deoni are examples of Indian milk breeds. On average, the milk production of milk breeds is more than 1600 kg per lactation.

Additional Information: Larger farms specializing in milk alone have appeared in the last century or so. Large-scale dairy farming is only feasible when either a large quantity of milk is required to manufacture more durable dairy products such as cheese, butter, etc., or there is a significant demand for people with money to buy milk, but no cows of their own. Von Thünen claimed in the 1800s that there was about a 100-mile radius around a town where such a supply of fresh milk was economically viable.
Dairy farming for thousands of years has been part of agriculture. It has traditionally been a component of small, diverse farms. Larger farms focusing on milk production have arisen in the last century or so. Large-scale dairy farming is only feasible where either a large quantity of milk is needed for the manufacture of more durable dairy products such as cheese, butter, etc., or there is a significant demand for people buying milk with cash, but no cows of their own.
So, the correct answer is ‘good milk-producing cows’.

Note: Although milk can be provided by any animal, commercial dairy farms are usually single-species enterprises. Usually, dairy farms in developing countries consist of highly raised dairy cows. Goats, cattle, and camels are other animals used in commercial dairy farming. Donkey dairies are rising in popularity in Italy to produce an alternative supply of milk for human infants.
