Typically, one hears the term surcingle applied only to horses. In earlier times stretching into the 1960's and before the advent of more modern milking systems, many dairy farmers used a special type of surcingle to suspend the milking machine from the cow. This type of surcingle was a wide--usually leather--belt which was placed across the cow's back slightly in front of the udder. One end of the belt had a series of brass-grommeted holes to accommodate different size cows. Attached to the other end of the belt was a slightly-arched steel rod with an indent to hold the milker in position. When milking, the farmer would approach the cow from the cow's right side, place the belt on her back, bend down, reach under the cow to grab the metal rod and hook it in an appropriate hole, hang the milker on the surcingle, apply the teat cups to the cow's teats and let the pulsating suction action of the milk machine do the actual milking. When the cow was finished--in perhaps four minutes--it was time to repeat the process with the next cow. kw

The place where cows are milked is called a milking parlor or a milking shed. This is where farmers can safely and efficiently extract milk from the cows.
Milking machines are designed to be gentle and do not typically cause bleeding in cows when used correctly. However, improper use, poor maintenance, or ill-fitting equipment could potentially lead to injury and bleeding in cows. It's important for farmers to follow proper milking procedures and ensure that milking machines are well-maintained to prevent any harm to the animals.
Elephants do not produce milk in the same way that cows do. Their mammary glands are not suited for milking and they do not produce milk in quantities that would make milking feasible. Additionally, elephants are large and wild animals that would not cooperate with the milking process.
