I've heard that as a result of breeding that dairy cows produce milk without needing to give birth, but I would like to complicate the matter by having a beef cow.
I would be very grateful to hear your opinions on this matter as a cow is fundamental to my aspirations of having a biodynamic homestead but do not yet have the capacity for more than one cow.
