Explanation:
Könnte es sein, dass es hier nicht um die Technik, sondern um die Kuh geht - soweit ich weiß sind "dry-offs" in der Kuhzucht hochschwangere Kühe, die nicht mehr gemolken werden - also "trockengestellt".

agree  Stephan Briol: Das ist gut möglich, Trockensteher sind Kühe, die zwei Monate vor dem Kalben nicht mehr gemolken, also "trockengestellt" werden. Da muss Gabriele entscheiden, was hier besser passt.
