Will a cow's udder explode if they are not milked?
If you stop milking a cow, the udder will get really big, but will not explode. The milk will slowly diminish and the udder will get back to normal size after a while, and she will not be giving milk any more. Of course, to get her to start milking again, she will need to give birth to another calf. However, you can get her back milking again if you start milking before she completely dries up, but she will likely be producing less than initially.
