Dear Alien

So dairy cows are white and black animals sometimes fully white or black, but most commonly white with black spots. Dairy farming is where cows are milked a white liquid "milk" comes out of the bottom of the cow called the udder on the bottom of the cow on a big scale. Dairy cattle (also called dairy cows or milk cows) are cattle cows bred for the ability to produce large quantities of milk, from which dairy products are made. Dairy farming in New Zealand began from small beginnings during the early days of colonization by Europeans. The income from dairy farming is now a major part of the New Zealand economy, becoming an NZ$11 billion industry by 2010.
