The Milking Shorthorn is a North American breed of dairy cattle, distributed in Canada and the United States. It derives from the Dairy Shorthorn of the United Kingdom, but has developed differently; there is a polled sub-type within the breed. It is distinct from the Milking Shorthorn of New Zealand, which forms part of the Dairy Shorthorn group.
