Can cows kick while milking

They can, but mainly for three reasons:

  1. They are inexperienced with being milked, like experienced with Holstein and Jersey heifers
  2. They have mastitis in a quarter that is making it very painful to be milked out
  3. The way you are treating or milking their udders (like jerking or pulling too hard, or squeezing too hard) is making it uncomfortable or painful for them, causing them to react to make the pain or discomfort go away

Occasionally there will be one or two cows, mainly Jerseys, that kick just because they can.

It depends on your set-up. You could have a set-up where you have 30 milking machines for all 30 cows so they get milked all at the same time where all 30 cows go into 30 stalls each and are hooked up simultaneously; or you can have 5 or 6 milking machines for the 30 cows so that you milk 5 or 6 at a time. This set up requires 5 or 6 cows going into the parlour at a time while the other 24 or 25 wait their turns.
