Well if the cow is finished milking (not forever) it is moved into a field with other cows of its type. The cow is then called a dry cow. For a short period of time the cow will still be dry then when it breeds with the bull it takes a while for the calf to be born. When the calf is born the farmer lets the calf drink the first milk and then takes the calf away from the mother and the cow is taken back to the milking parlour for a furthor 7 months.
If the cow is too old to have a calf, then the cow is no use to the farm any more, it is sent away to the factory and killed and then eaten.

∙ 12y agoThese cows are referred to as cull cows, and are always sold to an auction mart to be turned into hamburger at the slaughter plant. A cow that cannot produce milk anymore is a freeloader, a cow that adds no value to the herd, and thus must be separated and sold as a slaughter cow.

How do you stop a calf from cross sucking?
Separate the calf and his mother from the herd and put them in a separate pen by themselves for a few weeks. That may teach him to stop stealing milk from other cows and just depend on his dam for milk. However, you will have to pay attention to his dam. See if she is producing enough milk for him to rely on. If not, then this may force him to have to find other cows to suckle on. Also, some cows are not as strict about having other calves suckle on them as some are: these type of cows should be noted to being potential surrogate dams if you happen to have a calf that needs another mother to take care of it. If it's the case that the calf's dam isn't producing enough milk, then it may be a wise idea to not find a way to stop the calf from cross suckling. However, if you haven't find the other cows are going down in condition from having an additional calf on them, you will have to consider separating him and his mother from the herd.

How does a cow stop producing milk?

What is the meaning of drying off a dairy cow?
To make her stop producing milk.
When will a cow stop producing milk?
The best time to stop milking a pregnant dairy cow is when she is two to three months prior to her due date. This allows her a break from producing milk and to give her a chance to produce colostrum for her new calf. It also allows her to put her energy into growing a healthy calf prior to birth, as most of the growth of the fetus occurs in the last trimester of pregnancy.
Why doesn't a mother cow give milk when there is a calf in her stomach?
A calf doesn't grow in a mother cow's stomach. It grows in her womb or uterus. And cows are fully capable of being able to lactate (give milk) while a fetus is growing in her womb, and it's always to feed the last calf she gave birth to. A cow, however, will eventually stop milk production when her calf is weaned from her several months before she gives birth to her next calf.
As long as you breast feed will you produce milk?
Not long; the body will stop producing milk (lactating) if the breasts are not being used to nurse or pump milk.

What happens if a calf does not feed after birth and the dam teats are very swollen?
First, the calf may die if it doesn't get colostrum within an hour or two after birth. Secondly, the mother will simply dry up (stop milk production) if her calf doesn't survive or you don't get the calf to start suckling from his momma.
How do you explain to a grade 1 the life of a cow?
Cows are born as baby calves, much like your mommy had you or your little brother[s] and/or sister[s]. A girl calf is called a heifer calf, and a boy calf is called a bull calf. The heifer calf is raised on milk from its mother, and then she no longer needs her milk when she reaches 6 months old. We can also get milk from her mother too, if she lets us. Her momma also stops making milk because her calf doesn't need it any more, but may keep producing for a little while longer if we want to have more. But then eventually she has to stop because she will be going to have another sister or brother to that little heifer soon! When the heifer reaches 1 year and a 5 or 6 months old, she is old enough to have a baby calf of her own. The baby calf grows in her belly for 9 months, then is born much like she was. She has many babies in her life, until she is too old to have any more. She can reach around 19 years old or even older. Nineteen is pretty old for a cow!
How do cows continue to produce milk?
Think of it like this as long as you keep on using the human breasts for milk it will keep on producing the milk same thing for a cow as long as you keep on using its nipples for milk it will keep on producing the milk just like a human can. However, this in itself is not completely fool-proof. Most cows will start to decrease in milk production after the first few months of giving birth to a calf. To maximize the amount of milk that a cow produces, a dairy producer considers it pertinent to rebreed that cow so that she calves 11 to 12 months later. Thus, the other answer to this question is not only are cows able to keep producing milk by being milked regularly (not constantly), but also by being able to give birth to a calf once a year.
What can cause a 4 week calf to stop standing?
A object could be in it's hoof. Alot of times adult cows or older calves will step on the calf when it's laying down. If the calf is in mud alot they sometimes get foot rot. May not be getting enough milk & is to weak to stand.
