I suppose…if it died while lactating (is it called that for cows?) and there was still milk in the udder…makes sense, yes?

you can see how knowledgeable I am on the subject

but would you really want to drink it?

depends on how long it’s been dead and how/why it died…

and, well, no, because I hate cow’s milk

Would you want to?

Only with a dead farmer.

Once rigor mortis set in, how would you comfortably fit the teats into the automated milking machine?

where there’s a will there’s a way

Probably a freshly dead cow.

Technically you could “milk” a cow by removing the milk from the udder. I’m not sure if the teat would dispense milk once the body was cooled to a certain temperature, but you could remove the milk using a needle, up to the point where it starts curdling inside the udder…

The GOP seems to think so

You can strip a little milk from th\e udder of a dead animal, but not much at all. Wildlife rescuers sometimes try to do this when a mother animal gets hit by a car and leaves an orphan, for example.

Is milking a dead cow kind of like beating a dead horse?

If it was dead for a long time would you get sour cream?
Or maybe cottage cheese?

@AstroChuck nice
