They are distinguished from the Jerseys by slightly larger size, by rather straighter forms, and by a distinctly yellower color of the skin. In color they are uniformly fawn and white.

Dutch farmershave long been noted for their thrift, and the man-ufacture of dairy products, particularly of cheese,has been an important industry in North Hollandfor very many years.
