Are cows constantly producing milk?

201 views

I just drove past a field of cows and there were babies too. The calfs we’re so cute! But it got me thinking… When cows make milk it usually goes to their babies, right? So how is it that we have constant stores of milk and cheese at the supermarket? Do we only get milk from cows who’s calfs didn’t make it (passed away)? Or is it that cows always have milk so it’s no big deal if we take it instead of it going to a calf? Need some dairy farmers to help me out with this one please!

Also isn’t it curious that humans are the only species to drink another species milk? And why not dog milk- or rat milk? Think of the lattes that could come from the subways of NYC ?! 😛
