Artificial selection to obtain cow yielding higher milk output will shift the peak to one direction, hence, will be an example of Directional selection. In stabilizing selection, the organisms with the mean value of the trait are selected. In disruptive selection, both extremes get selected (more individuals acquire peripheral character value at both ends of the distribution curve).
