The cow’s milk goes through a process where the saturated fat content is removed to make it light. This process also reduces the fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and C which are highly needed during pregnancy. One cup of low-fat milk provides 305 mg of calcium. One cup of skimmed milk contains 83 calories. References & further information: 1  Murayama, et. al.

On factory farms, calves are usually taken from their mothers within a day or two of being born and aren't even allowed to enjoy their own mother's milk. The mother cow is then typically milked by a machine. Just like people, milk production can vary with cows. Whether the cow has to be rebred constantly, or can milk for longer, will depend on the individual and how often the animal is milked. In large scale production, the goal is to produce as much milk as possible, in just a few milkings. There's not much point in a mammal producing milk while its pregnant. Dairy cows do though. Dairy farmers aim for a cow giving birth every 365 days. After she has a calf, most farmers allow her one ovulation and try and impregnate her on the second or third ovulation, 6 - 9 weeks after giving birth. She lactates while pregnant for seven months, producing on average around 8,000 litres of milk.
