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.

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.

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.

No because all cows, regardless of type, are capable of giving milk, so long as they have already given birth to a calf (very recently) and are lactating. There are people out there that use their beef cows (yes, BEEF cows) to get their milk from that they use for their own consumption. Milk isn't exclusive to dairy cows only, you know.

How long do cows produce milk after giving birth?

Cows will produce milk for as long as a producer (dairy or beef) needs to have them produce milk, whether it's a time frame of around 6 to 10 months or longer, depending on their type and class of the cows and the producer's management criteria. The time frame, on average, is between or either 6 to 10 months.Dairy cows tend to be milked longer than beef cows due to the fact that they're selected to produce milk, not raise a calf. Beef cows will produce milk as long as they have a calf on them.
