What term refers to a non-lactating cow?

Explanation:
In dairy farming, when a cow is not producing milk, she is described as being dry. This dry state occurs during the dry period, which follows lactation and precedes the next calving, allowing the udder to rest and rebuild for the next milk production cycle. So the single term used to refer to a non-lactating cow is dry. (Open means not pregnant; barren means infertile; “dry cow” is a common way to refer to the animal during the dry period, but the concise descriptor is dry.)
