I used to believe that cows just started to produce milk spointaneously at some point. It was quite a shock when I deiscovered that they are "dry" heifers until they have their first calf. Then the surplus milk the cow produces is used for human consumption. As the time from the calving increases the amount of milk produced decreases. So the cow is mated again, and after the calving she will again have a full udder
