As as former micro-dairy farmer, I must say that it is true that the milk from pregnant cows contains more estrogen. And now cows are milked until 2 months before birth, typically, out of a nine month lactation, so that adds a lot of pregnant cow milk into the bulk tank at the dairy. On the other hand, cows produce by far the most milk per day shortly after birth, while they are not pregnant. If you know your farmer, you might be able to get milk from non-pregnant cows. In my own experience, I've been able to keep my T high and still consume a major portion of my calories from dairy. A key is to stay lean, as body fat turns T to E.
