Best Answer

It's not recommended, especially if it's a breed that is not suitable for the demands of making as much milk as you want her to. For instance, beef cows like Hereford, Charolais, Black/Red Angus, Beef Shorthorn and various other breeds that are raised for the purpose of putting muscle on calves and not large udders should not be used.

However, there are certain beef breeds that are in-fact dual-purpose breeds that can be used for milking. These include Red Polls, Dexters, South Devons, Gascons, Belmont Reds, Gloucesters and Lincoln Reds.
