If they have a so-called "disease in their milk" like Mastitis (infection of the udder) they cannot have their milk used by humans. Mastitis becomes quite painful for the cow if it is serious, which would also affect the calf's ability to suckle from her, or at least the one quarter that may be infected. If the mastitis is very serious, it will permanently affect the cow in a way that the quarters affected will either not produce as much milk or no milk at all.
