The milk wouldn't end during pregnancy with regular milking. You would have to stop milking a month or so before the new calf is born each year, as the cow will beging filling up with colostrum for the new calf. In order to only milk once a day you would probably have to pen the calf up at...

All of your questions are breed specific! We had a jersey that we milked for 3 years after she had her calf, but all cows, as time goes, so does the milk slowly. For how long it takes to milk twice a day, would depend on how much milk your cow had just then, and how good you are at milking! I...

Thats too bad about Snickers! I know how you feel! I have a ram,'Hamilton', he is such a beautiful, big, lovable boy, but unfortunatly, the last 2 years, none of his lady friends have had a lamb for him!!! :( So, I guess I have to say 'bye' to Hamilton! Getting stood up is sooooo annoying...

If they still wrinkle a bit in the...
