Can an animal produce milk all the time?

+0
−0

So as most of you probably know, cows don't produce milk all year round for no reason, they need to be pregnant and then you gotta do something with the calves"¦

Now in my story that has an ecosystem pretty much based on what you would find in the late Eocene on Earth, I was hoping to have some kind of milk-producing domesticated animal.

Now my question is: would it be possible, through evolution/voluntary selection during domestication, to make it so a mammal would produce milk all the time without needing to be impregnated every year or so?
