    About how many teat pulls are required on average to produce a gallon of cow's milk?

    Question #58947. Asked by gmackematix. (Aug 21 05 7:51 PM)

    		Somewhat to my surprise, I discovered that a few sites offered the answer to this question. You need about 345 squirts to get a gallon of milk:

    		So 11 mils a squirt which sounds about right. Actually, I should perhaps have said teat squeezes as a cow doesn't take kindly to having them pulled.
    I've also read that cows were traditionally milked on the right hand side but I don't know the truth of this.
    Of course, most cows are milked artificially now anyway.
