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.

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.

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.

How long before a cow dries up after giving birth?
She will dry up after her calf is weaned or you stop milking her. So, typically, she will dry up 6 to 10 months after giving birth, if she is kept to produce milk for that period of time.
