I very much doubt that this entry in its current state could cause offence and/or confusion. There are only two senses, and this is the preferred term when referring to milking of an animal. It would look odd leading with "breast pumping".

Normally you order senses based on how common they are, correct? Doing it the other way here without a good reason risks alienating/offending users who happen upon the word as it is most commonly used. suddenly seeing "milking a cow or goat" in the context of human breastfeeding can offend people, but the opposite wouldn't.

I'd leave it as-is. It's not really a distinct sense in that breast pumping is another form of milking. They could be merged.
