It’s entirely possible to take only excess milk from a cow, especially as she will continue to lactate for as long as you continue to milk her. But I also feel it’s important for you to know that in the industrial dairy industry what they do is get her pregnant, take the calf away immediately after birth, and then get her pregnant again soon after.
I’m not sure what you mean. She would be feeding the calf if they didn’t take it away from her. I’m not sure what percentage of them are allowed to grow up, given the popularity of veal.
They will continue to produce milk, but in factory farming they’re impregnated roughly once a year to keep the amount of milk high and to give it more marketable qualities.

You realize that these cows are not feeding calves, right? **It’s all excess. **
If you keep extracting the milk, they keep producing it, even years after their offspring has grown up.
