After a dairy cow gives birth, it is usually milked for 10 months, then allowed to 'dry up' for the two month's prior to birthing, again.

IF the cow is milked twice per day, and gives 4 gallons per milking (average), she can give approximatly 2400 gallons of milk per year. Of course, this does not take into account the age of the animal, sickness, or feeding.
