Animal Science I 
Daniel Wood
- They’re black. 
- Angus associations allow some white to be present 
just behind the navel under the belly. 
- Historically, Angus cows weighed only around 950 to 
1200 lbs, and bulls weighed around 1800 to 2300 lbs. 
- The "Angus look" means that Angus typically have 
perky-looking ears, a wide forehead with a more 
narrow and finer muzzle.
 They’re white/ light grey to red. 
 Brahmans typically have a more rounded appearance around 
their rumps. 
 They tend to be highly responsive to how they are handled 
and treated, no matter if it's good or bad, and thus require 
kind, gentle treatment at all times. 
 Brahmans also have a broader forehead (more so in the bulls), 
and have a dished face from the point between the eyes to the 
nose.
 They’re cream to light almost black. 
 Jersey cows have a large udder on them to accommodate for the 
demand for producing more milk than their calves would normally 
receive. 
 Jersey cows are very feminine looking animals. 
 They have milk that is more rich in butterfat than any other dairy cow, 
which is great to use for dairy products like cheese, butter, and ice 
cream.
 They are black/ white spots. 
 Holsteins, like all dairy breeds, have more 
angle over the hips, tail-head and shoulders 
than beef breeds. 
 A Holstein’s head is very long. 
 Holsteins are capable of producing as much as 
50 gallons of milk per day!
 They are black with six white spots. 
 They have fine wrinkle-free necks and well-sloped 
shoulder blades. 
 They have short, straight legs. 
 They have a straight underline belly.
 They are black with a white belt. 
 Hampshire’s are good tempered. 
 Hampshire hogs are noted for being well-muscled 
and rapid growers. 
 They exhibit good carcass quality when used as 
meat animals.
 They are multi colored. 
 Polish are a very special and unique breed of 
chicken with their huge bouffant crest of feathers 
and v-shaped comb. 
 Polish are sweet, beautiful exhibition birds and can 
be good layers in the backyard flock, but they're 
not reliable. 
 They are tame but their behavior can be a bit 
wacky since their crest limits their vision.
 They are white, black, and multi colored. 
 They have a tendency for bad legs due to 
widely spaced hips. 
 They are heavy, muscular birds that lay brown 
eggs. 
 They require little feed if allowed free range.
 They are white with a clean black face. 
 Mature weights for rams range from 250 to 350 lb 
(110 to 160 kg), ewe weights vary from 180 to 250 
lb (80 to 110 kg). 
 The fleeces are considered medium wool in type. 
 The staple length of Suffolk fleece ranges from 2 to 
3.5 inches (5-8.75 cm). 
 They are clean of wool on their back legs.
 They are brown with a white face and black nose/ 
ears. 
 Mature weight for rams is 160 to 200 lb (70 to 90 
kg) with ewes weighing 120 to 160 lb (50 to 70 kg). 
 Bred to look after themselves, Cheviots need less 
husbandry. 
 The Cheviot is a long-wool type, hornless and of 
reasonable frame.
 They are bay, gray, and black. 
 The Arabian's head is a real thing of beauty, the upper 
half being larger in proportion to the whole size of the 
horse, especially in the depth across the jowls. 
 The ears, smaller in stallions and of good size in mares, 
are pointed, set evenly together in an upright position, 
and of great flexibility. 
 The animal's coat is thick, close, fine, soft, and silky. 
The mane and tail are long, and very fine in texture.
 They are white, spotted with any other color. 
 They are a muscular animal that is heavy but 
not too tall. 
 They have a low center of gravity for 
maneuverability. 
 They have powerful hindquarters suitable for 
rapid acceleration and sprinting.
