need to go away..milking

[renee o'neill]

I need to leave for 4 days,I cant find anyone to milk.what are the chances of my cow not going dry?I only milk her 1 x a day and get 2 gal. Is there anything I can do to help keeping her in milk?

I'd say you need to put a calf on her if you can't find anyone to milk for you. Mastitis would be my concern before her going dry if she's a heavy producer. If she already has a calf on her you could probably get by with the four days but it will probably hurt her production.
