Can cows have no milk?
Yes. A cow that is not producing milk is called a dry cow. Dry cows are those that are a result of the weaning process, and are granted a period of rest before giving birth again.
When does the lactation period start in cows and when does it end?
For beef and dairy cows, lactation period begins immediately after a calf is born. For beef cows, the lactation period ends when their calves are weaned off of them. For a dairy cow, the lactation period ends when she is not longer being milked and allowed to dry up so that she can focus on putting energy into growing the calf inside her. The dry period for a dairy cow is shorter than a beef cow's: two months for a dairy cow, and four to five months for a beef cow.
