Which breed originates from Switzerland and is associated with high milk production described as gold, red with white and black?

• A. Dexter
• B. Belted Galloway
• C. Simmental
• D. Brahman

Answer: (C)

Identifying cattle breeds often comes down to origin and what they’re known for. The breed from Switzerland that’s famed for high milk production is Simmental. It originated in the Simmental region of Switzerland and is a dual-purpose breed, valued for both milk and beef. Its color range commonly includes shades from pale gold to red with white markings, and black variants also occur, which aligns with the description “gold, red with white and black.” The other breeds come from different places and aren’t highlighted for Swiss origin or high milk yield in the same way: Dexter is Irish and small, Belted Galloway is Scottish with a distinctive belt, and Brahman hails from India.
