 The frequency with which animals are able to be milked is marked in the RAW files with the tag [MILKABLE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:MILK:20000]. In this case, it is a cow and the time period is 20000 ticks, at roughly 1200 ticks per day. All creatures currently have this tag set to 20000, so there is no reason to favor one milkable creature over another, other than preference.

 An excellent strategy at embark is to take a minimum of 1 of each kind of milk. Milk costs only 1 point at embark, and comes with a seperate barrel for each type, which means you can start with more food and can be more efficient with wood supplies.

 Female versions of certain animals are milkable. In order to perform milking, you must have a dwarf assigned to Milking, a Farmer's Workshop, an empty bucket, an empty barrel (or available space in an existing milk barrel), and a mature, non-pet, milkable animal.

 You cannot use [R]epeat to alternate between Milk Creature and Make Cheese if you only have one animal available to milk.  Setting up two workshops (one for Milk Creature (R) and the other for Make Cheese (R)) works fairly well.
