Should you dry your cow before she calves?
Yes.
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.
Can cows have no milk?
Yes. A cow that is not producing milk is called a dry cow. Dry cows are those that are a result of the weaning process, and are granted a period of rest before giving birth again.

What do you call a wet cow?
A wet cow, if you're referring to a cow that's been out in the rain. However, it would have a different meaning. For some, a "wet" cow can refer to a cow that is giving milk or lactating, which is opposite of being a "dry" cow. Dry cows are those that are not giving milk.

Is a pregnant cow a dry cow?
No. A pregnant cow can still lactate or give milk. A bred cow will have a "wet" (lactating) period and a "dry" (non-lactating) period. A cow's "wet" period lasts from parturition until her calf is weaned or, if she's a dairy cow, the farmer decides to let her dry off and rest before she calves again. A cow's dry period lasts from the time she is dried off (dairy farmer's decision) or when she has a calf weaned off her (beef cattle) until next parturition. After a cow gives birth, she has 45 to 60 days (or around two-months, sometimes up to 3 months) of rest to allow her uterus to involute or go back to normal size, and allow her to go back into normal estrus cycling. After this period she is bred again, either by bull or artificial insemination. She will still be producing milk even after she has settled and become pregnant again. A beef cow will be lactating until her calf is around 6 months old. Once her calf is at this age he is weaned from her, and she is "forced" to no longer produce milk. When the calf is 6 months old, she will be 3 to 4 months pregnant. A dairy cow, on the other hand, will be lactating until she is 2 months away from her next due date to deliver her next calf, which means she will be giving milk for 10 months after the birth of her calf, then be dried up when she is 7 months into her pregnancy. Some beef cows will be allowed to have their calves suckle them until they are 10 months of age. A lot of where people think that pregnant cows are dry cows is from what they have learned about human pregnancy and the fact that women are not lactating when they are pregnant. This is like comparing apples to oranges and should not be used as a way to compare the reproductive physiology and workings of a cow versus a woman. Thus one should not think that just because a cow is pregnant she is not still giving milk.
