Cows has to be pregnant in order to produce milk?

Cows need to be pregnant, then give birth and be nursing to produce milk. So dairy cows are artificially inseminated and kept reproducing. With factory farming they take the calf away within a few days (if its even that long) and the calf either goes on to produce milk when it's grown if it's female (though she may be bred to not be a good producer and just slaughtered for meat), and males are sent to be veal, or is sent to a feedlot and later killed. And the cow is inseminated again within 3 months.

This happens over and over and over again.

Kinda off note here but didn't you say a while ago that women could produce milk by squeezing the boob in a certain way or something without getting preggers in the first place?
Wouldn't that work for cows as well?

Not in anything even a fraction the quantities that dairy producers aim for if they could manage it. And typically if you do that it requires hormones, or drugs, and a great deal of manual stimulation regularly. There's no way dairy producers with thousands of cattle are going to manually stimulate bovine mammaries each day to get them sort of producing milk.
