No, only the "female cows" do. Male "cows" are not cows. They are bulls or steers, which do not produce milk. Female bovines that have had a calf (or at least two) are called cows and those cows produce milk. Young female bovines that have not had a calf are called heifers, and they are not able to produce milk because they have not had a calf yet.

∙ 13y agoALL cows are female, dairy or otherwise. A male is called a bull and the species is called cattle. However as we have many more cows than bulls, cow has become a generic term for the entire species.

Are female dairy cows killed?
Dairy cows are female. And yes, they are killed if they have been culled from the dairy herd for whatever reason the dairy farmer had to cull them. They are slaughtered for hamburger, so they don't exactly go to waste. If they're sick or downers and can't be treated, they are humanely euthanized via bullet in the head.
Are female beef cows milk cows?
No. Cows are female, they're mature female bovines that have had a calf. Beef cows are genetically selected to produce more beefy frames than dairy cows are, and thus only produce enough milk for their calves. Beef cows are typically not selected for increased milk quantity like other dairy breeds are (including Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss), and thus, unlike dairy cows, do not produce so much milk that their one calf can't drink it all at one nursing.

What are advantages of breeding dairy cows?
Breeding dairy cows produces calves which subsequently makes them produce more milk in the next production year. Calves are also raised as replacements (if they are heifers) for the other cows, as these calves have been selected, through the process of sire selection, for giving more milk per year when they mature into cows.
