Cows are mammals and all mammals make milk. Generally only dairy cows make enough milk to be considered commercially viable. Calves typically need about 2 gallons a day for 2 months. Dairy cows average 5 to 9 gallons of milk a day for 305+ days a year. Beef cows generally make only enough milk to feed their nursing calves.

∙ 12y agoUnless constantly stimulated to do so, no. Most dairy farms allow for a two-month drying-up period for cows to take a break from being milked so they can focus more of their energy resources on the final growth of the fetus inside them. After the calf is born and has gotten its colostrum, only then do cows go back into milk production again.

How many milk fish in all?
Umm Cows produce milk not fish.
What kind of cows do not produce milk?
All cows (those female bovines that have had at least 1 calf) produce milk, whether it's for human consumption or not. However, "dry cows" are cows that do not produce milk, whether they are bred or open and don't have a calf at side.
What all do cows produce?
If bred, milk and baby calves.
What drink do cows produce?
1 cow can produce the milk that it once took 10 cows to produce. Around 9.2 million cows are being milked on 110,000 farms in the U.S. More than 99% of all dairy farms are family owned and operated. Cows are milked for an average of 3-4 years.
Does the milk you drink come from cows?
Yes. Unless otherwise labeled, all the milk that is sold in your local grocery store comes from cows.
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.
Do horese drink milk?
Like all mammals, baby horses drink milk their mothers produce.
Why does milk grow in a cow?
Cows produce calves. Calves, like all other baby mammals, rely on their mother's milk for nutrition. Thus, in order to satisfy this need, cows need to produce milk for their calves.
What do cows make?
Female dairy cows produce milk which is made into cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, or pasteurized as milk to drink. In addition, they make bake babies. All cows let out a gas called methane, and they make manure. Other cows are used for their beef, and some hides are used to make leather.
Do all female cows become dairy milk produces?
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.
Do cows have to give birth to give milk?
Yes they do. Cows giving milk is as natural as they come: ALL female mammals, after giving birth, produce milk.
