Not only for milk production, but dairy cows are also good grazers, enough to eat down a pasture or field, and their manure is also great for use on gardens, flower beds and fields used for crop production. Dairy cows also produce calves, which can either be used as replacements, or the bulls can be raised for meat. Some people like to buy a bull calf or two, castrate it, then raise it for beef (not veal), slaughtering it when it is around 2 years of age.

Can beef cows be milked?

No they don't. Milking cows, or dairy cows are a different type of cow than beef cows are. Dairy cows give birth to dairy cows, no matter if they are crossed with a beef breed or not. The dairy-beef crossbred cow as a result still has stronger dairy qualities in her than her dairy mother.

Does it depend on what cow you have to get milk?

No because all cows, regardless of type, are capable of giving milk, so long as they have already given birth to a calf (very recently) and are lactating. There are people out there that use their beef cows (yes, BEEF cows) to get their milk from that they use for their own consumption. Milk isn't exclusive to dairy cows only, you know.


What is the average cost of seedstock for dairy cows?

This question makes no sense because the cows themselves are "seedstock" which is another term for purebred cattle. However you may be referring to "seed" as in sperm or semen for dairy cows. The problem is producers never use the term "seed" in the same way pornography uses it. "Seed" to a farmer is the the product collected from plants to put in the ground and grow more plants from, not sperm. Average cost for a straw of semen for dairy cows can range from $25 per straw to over $100.

Most dairy cows that are used in conventional dairies (like Holsteins and Jerseys) are a form of GMO since they are genetically modified to be nothing more than milking machines. So I guess the answer to this question would be cows, not milk.
