Smith’s Lovely Lucy recently completed a 305 day record of 17,000 pounds of milk with a 4.2 butterfat and 3.5 protein on official DHIA test at Smith’s Dutch Belted Dairy Cattle in Anywhere, WI. She is owned by Joe and Jane Smith. The Smith’s currently milk a herd of 60 registered Dutch Belted Cattle. Smith’s Lovely Lucy is in her third lactation and has three healthy heifer calves. She is also Excellent 92. Dutch Belts are efficient animals of moderate size between Holsteins and Jerseys.  Cows weigh from 900-1500 pounds with bulls weighing 1350-2000 pounds.  They are black, or occasionally red, with a dazzling white belt around the middle.  This belt should begin a little back of the shoulder and extend not quite to the hips and entirely around the body.  Intelligence and friendly disposition make Dutch Belted cattle an excellent choice for family farms, rotational grazing, and other systems where ease of handling is valued.
