What defines a cows milking period?
Lactation is a term for the time period that a cow, or any other female mammal, is able to produce milk. What defines such a period is by seeing how tight and swollen the udder is on that cow. If the udder looks tight and swollen and all four teats look full, then she is obviously in her lactation period. This goes for all types of cows, beef and dairy alike.
When does the lactation period start in cows and when does it end?
For beef and dairy cows, lactation period begins immediately after a calf is born. For beef cows, the lactation period ends when their calves are weaned off of them. For a dairy cow, the lactation period ends when she is not longer being milked and allowed to dry up so that she can focus on putting energy into growing the calf inside her. The dry period for a dairy cow is shorter than a beef cow's: two months for a dairy cow, and four to five months for a beef cow.
