Mexican Holstein
(most common name in English)

The Mexican Holstein began with imported Holstein cattle from the USA which were then crossed with Mexican Criollo cattle to some degree.

Today, large dairy operations use pure Holsteins. Smaller farms and dual-purpose breeders cross them with zebu cattle.
