  1. A cow can live for around 20 years, she can give birth from 2-3 years old. When a calf is born it is taken away from the barrier after only a few hours of life. It is done to ensure that the mother and calf do not become too attached to each other, as this will make the weaning process and the separation process very stressful for both the animals and the stock keeper.

  2. If the calf is male there are many possible options for its future: it can be castrated and raised as a steer; kept entire and used for future breeding (only healthy, well-born calves are used for this); or used for as a source of semen for Artificial Insemination (AI) programmes (only the a small percentage of the best, usually pure bred, bull calves are used for this process).

  3. In the case of a female calf, the calf can either be raised as a replacement milker for the main milking swarm or raised on behalf of a buyer who will buy the calf when it is of proper age and weight.

  4. At 15 months of age, a heifer (young female cow) is ready to breed and does not produced milk before.

  5. A young female cow has her first calf at about 2 years of age. After the calf she is known as a cow.

  6. Once she has calved she starts her lactation cycle, which can last up to 12 months, but production of milk decrease after around 10 months of lactation.

  7. During the lactation cycle she is milked and during this period is also mated with a bull.

  8. 7 after months after mating, at around 60 days before calving (for the second time) she is put onto a dry period, at that time her lactation cycle ends and she is no longer being milked.
