"The census enumerated separately the cows kept principally for milk for the first time in 1900.The exclusion of cows kept principally for raising calves reduced the number in some of the principal beef–producing States. The greatest increase in the decade 1890–1900 was made in Wisconsin. In some of the eastern States the number of cows had begun to decline." — United States Department of Agriculture Yearbook 1922, 1923.
