Conventional dairies operate so that milk is being collected 365 days a year. However a lone milk cow herself cannot milk for 365 days; her period is primarily between 185 to 305 days. This of course depends on each cow, for one cow may go longer than another before eventually drying up.

∙ 13y agoThe average is around 10 months. Cows get a 2 month break to dry up before they start producing milk again after their next calf is born. Some dairy producers, if the cow has not been bred after she had her last calf, can have a dairy cow produce milk for a full year or two. But when she's bred a couple months after she had her last calf, she will need that break during the last part of her 3rd trimester to gain weight up to calving, and to be able to produce colostrum for her next calf.
