Are fat cows better for milking?

Absolutely not! A cow that is overweight or obese will actually produce much less milk than one that is thinner or at a better condition. The reason for this is that fat quite often deposits itself in the udder decreasing the ability for that cow's mammary glands to produce a desirable quantity of milk. The body condition of a cow actually has nothing to do with milk quality; it has more to do with the health and well-being of a cow as well as its productivity.

The weight of a cow alone should not be used as an indicator of quality and quality of its milk. Overweight cows can potentially suffer from health problems that may affect milk, while underweight cows may lack the ability to produce the desired quality and quantity of milk.
