How is that a response to the parent comment? Milking cows need to be having calves regularly so they keep producing milk. Not owning a bull doesn’t make that

Milking cows need to be having calves regularly so they keep producing milk.
Not owning a bull doesn’t make that problem go away.
- OJFord 5y agoIs that true? I know nothing about the dairy industry, but human wet nurses aren't constantly pregnant so they can do their job, as I understand it production's just a gradual response to the 'request'.
- stormdennis 5y agoGood point, cows are usually "dried out" prior to being impregnated again.
- TheSpiceIsLife 5y agoTrue, good point. It appears you may be right to some extent, but a bit of reading indicates dairy farmers to to have their cows birth a calf every one year to 400 days. Older practices may vary, haven’t looked in to that.
