Celebrated as the world champion of milk producton and cherished as the national favourtite animal, the Dutch cow is almost sacred. The statues erected here and there speak volumes: the Dutch are proud of this die-hard symbol of Dutch prosperity. This love affair does not run deep, however. The Dutch like their steaks.
Green pastures of happily grazing cattle, under a beautiful cloudy sky: you won’t find a more Dutch landscape. It’s an image the touristes appreciate, as do the Dutch. And one that can be found everywhere in the green quilted landscape of four million cows and thirty thousand dairy frms that it the Netherlands.
