[[Cow]]s are a great example of animals which are bred for what they produce.  Cows are sometimes bred so that their milk supply is greater or in all, or contains a greater percentage of cream.  Some such breeds are Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey,  Holstein-Friesian, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorn.<ref>http://www.raw-milk-facts.com/dairy_cow_breeds.html</ref>They are also sometimes bred for meat.  These tend to be almost polar opposites of dairy cows, since the milk is not important.  Rather, the focus is generally on growth rate and body mass.  Some favored breeds are Angus Cattle, Ankole-Watusi, Beefmaster Cattle, Braford Cattle, Brahman Cattle, Charolais Cattle, Chianina Cattle, Dexter Cattle, Fakeford, Galloway Cattle, Gelbvieh Cattle, Hereford Cattle, Maine Anjou Cattle, Pinzgauer Cattle, and Polled Hereford Cattle. <ref>http://www.cattle.com/articles/cat/beef%2Bcattle%2Bbreeds.aspx</ref>

===Eugenics===
By far the most controversial kind of selective breeding is among humans.  This kind of selective Breeding is usually called [[eugenics]].  In theory, and willing population could participate in a eugenic effort, but this never has and probably never will happen.  In general, it is forced upon one group of people by another.  In any case, eugenic efforts label certain human traits as better than others.  When human traits start being classified as superior and inferior, unwarranted discrimination results.  Eugenics was a large part of the aggressive suppression and assault of those who were not of the "master" ([[Aryan]]) race, according to the [[Nazi]] party in the early 1900's.  The Western World's resistance to the barbaric treatment and [[genocide]] which "lesser" races were forced to face became known as [[World War II]].
