My question considering farmers have this opinion about milk producing
cows and their udder size:  Would the milk production in cows be the
same if the cow had been on hormonal birth control prior to breeding?

Human "heifers" have been "hormone-ized" for so many years prior to
planned pregnancy and birth.  Somehow I don't think the farmers would
mess around with their prize animals trying that.

Yet no one discusses effects on breasts that have increased in size and
cell volume due to estrogen/progesterone intake via the pill or implant
when the body actually does becomes pregnant.  When I was put on the
combination pill in 1963 at age 16 for 6 six months due to bad periods,
my OBGYN said it would fool my body into thinking I was really
pregnant--
meaning my breasts would enlarge, etc.

There used to be a saying "you can't fool mother nature."  Oh yeh!
