Dear forum,

Is this a cattle breed, or another way of defining a type of cattle?

Context (farmer talking about his cattle):
Fejos tehen korulbelul most 20 korul van, szarazon allo tehenunk is valami el van apasztva, azok jarnak a legelore.

"A szárazonállási időszak a várható ellés előtt 60 nappal végzett elapasztástól az ellésig tart. Ebből a 60 napból az első 40 nap a pihentetés, 20 nap pedig inkább a következő laktációra való felkészítés ideje."

"The dry period is necessary to allow the mammary gland to go through a normal period of repair and development and to ensure that the mammary cell numbers continue to multiply normally during early lactation. A short or absent dry period greatly reduces the number of secretory cells in the mammary gland and reduces milk lactation yields. Research has shown that cows dry for 60 days give approximately 125 KGs more milk the following lactation, compared to cows dry fewer than 40 days, which produce around 250 KGs less milk the following lactation."
