What weight does a cow have to be for milking?

Around 440kg!

Last updated 17/01/2024

Since a cow has to have a calf to produce milk, she must first become pregnant. A goal bodyweight for a dairy cow at "joining" (mating) is 65% of the adult weight for her breed. An average mature weight for a Holstein Friesian cow is 680kg.
