Basic Trope: Cows and other livestock in fiction can always be milked.
- Straight: Bessie the Cow can always be milked.
- Exaggerated:
- Bessie can even be milked when she's sick, old, or starving.
- Even if Bessie is constantly milked 24/7, she never runs out of milk.
- Downplayed: Bessie produces only a little milk before she gives birth, then she starts producing a lot.
- Justified: Bessie is the result of selective breeding.
- Inverted: Bessie cannot be milked even after she gives birth to a calf.
- Subverted: Bessie the cow stops producing milk and needs to be impregnated by Charlie the Bull to start producing it again.
- Double Subverted: Charlie mates with Bessie but for whatever reason Bessie does not become impregnated. She can still produce milk after the act.
- Parodied:
- Bessie drinks her own milk.
- Bessie is literally constantly lactating and she eventually floods the barn with her milk.
- Bessie turns out to be Bertie the Bull... and he can still produce milk.
- Zig-Zagged: Some cows are always available to milk, while others can only be milked after having a calf.
- Averted: Nobody ever tries to milk Bessie and we have no idea whether she is producing milk or not.
- Enforced: "How about we have Bessie be milked, to teach young children where milk comes from?"
- Lampshaded: "Wow. I always thought to produce milk a cow has to have a calf first."
- Invoked: The farmer injects Bessie with a hormone that causes her to produce milk.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Bessie wishes on a shooting star that she would stop producing milk all the time and her wish comes true.
- Discussed: "We got a new cow. What should we name her? How about... Bessie?" "Actually, I think it's a boy cow. I tried to milk it and nothing came out."
- Conversed: "What is it with cartoon cows and milk?"
- Implied: The farmer constantly milks Bessie but there is no bull in sight.
