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.

Yes. After a cow has calved, she will usually lactate for 10 months before being dried up to ready her for the birth of her next calf.

Are there any natural preservatives in milk?

There are some natural ways to keep milk fresh without using artificial additives. First, keeping milk cold in the fridge (below 40°F or 4°C) is a simple and effective method to slow down spoilage. Pasteurization, which uses heat to kill harmful bacteria, is also considered natural because it doesn't involve adding chemicals.

Another method is Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) pasteurization, where milk is briefly heated to a very high temperature, allowing it to be stored without refrigeration until you open it. Yogurt and kefir, which are fermented milk products, use good bacteria to make them sour. These bacteria lower the milk's acidity, which helps prevent spoilage.

Turning milk into powder by removing most of its moisture is another way to keep it for a long time. When making cheese and yogurt, specific bacteria are added to the milk, which not only help preserve it but also give it a unique taste.

Is milk sterile as it drawn from the cow?

Yes, Milk SHOULD be sterile when it is still in the udder, just like urine should be sterile when it's still in the bladder. A healthy udder does not have bacteria in it, so is sterile. In this case the bacteria is picked up in the distal teat canal, and the outside of the teat.

When the udder becomes infected with bacteria (a disease process called mastitis), the milk is no longer sterile. This is when the cow has mastitis, where bacteria have entered the udder and infected the mammary tissue. Most bacteria in a healthy, non-mastitis-infected cow that does affect the milk are found in the teat canal and enter the milk when the milk is excreted through the teats.
