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.
No. A cow is still capable of producing milk when she is pregnant, but only if she is constantly milked. A dairy farmer will dry up his cows two months prior to the schedule birth-date of a cow's calf, and a beef producer will dry up his cows four to five months prior to the start of calving season. When these cows dry up they are being weaned from their calves.
