A cow or goat will produce milk steadily for several years as long as you keep milking it. If you ever stop, the milk will dry out and you’ll have to breed her again so she has a kid and then produces milk again.

It needs to be bred annually for milk production. High production only lasts a few months and it dries up during the next pregnancy. Figure on milk from April or May to Nov or early Dec.
