    Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

      From the article:

      Meat production from dairy cows is a significant component of beef production, accounting for almost 10% of U.S. commercial beef production.

      10% isn’t “hardly any overlap worth mentioning”. Even if it was, it doesn’t address the overlap between milk and cheese.
