How did they know to pull it?
I imagine they too would have suckled.

it's not suckling like a baby would
baby cows are quite a bit bigger and more powerful, so the suckling is the same.

You pull and squeeze when you milk a cow.

I'm fairly sure that milking machines just do the squeezing, with a bit of suction,

Yes, but the first person to milk a cow wouldn't know that

they could reason as much
just because people were less advanced technologically and such, doesn't mean they were retards.

Yes, but if pulling and sqeezing didn't work to obtain lady milk
why would they think it would on cow milk?

because of the different shape of the teat
and the observation of a baby cow acquiring the milk

You are thinking too much about this.
And as much as I would like to stay here and discuss whether Stone Age people sucked cows off or not, I'm off to work.

it hasn't required any real thought
also, I'm really fucking bored

Or probably killed a cow and drunk the milk from the udder
then later realised they didn't have to kill the cow.

There must be a farmer, somewhere, who, on a cold lonely morning in the milking shed thought to himself:
"It squeezes and sucks, eh?" *zip*

And then shortly after:

"OH GOD! OH, THE UNIMAGINABLE PAIN! SO MUCH BLOOD!"
