Will the udder of a cow become hard if you stop milking it?

Yes, if a cow is not milked regularly, the udder can become engorged and hard due to the build-up of milk. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and potentially more serious health issues like mastitis. Regular milking helps maintain the health and well-being of the cow.

Why do dairy cows need to be milked everyday?

For many reasons, including the following:Alleviate tension, which causes pain, of the udderEncourage "constant" or rather consecutive milk production--milking regularly encourages regular milk productionOne calf alone cannot drain all the milk out of a dairy cow's udder (unless there are four on her at one time), and because dairy cows have been bred to produce four tiems as much milk as a beef cow would produce, they need to be milked out.Consumers demand "milk, more milk!" all the time. Producers have no choice but to answer to such demands.Mastitis concerns: having a full udder for a long period of time can increase the chance of a cow coming down with mastitis. Studies have shown, interestingly enough, that the more frequently you milk a cow (as in more than twice a day), the less chance there is for cows to get mastitis. (And of course, the more milk a producer gets to sell).
