I understand that but it still doesn't explain a Milk number of 4 and a TM in the 40's. How does the TM get that high without any milk? I am just looking for this to make sense. That's all!

Because you add the sire and dam together and divide by two. That is probably how it got that high.

IF TM is 46 and Milk is 4 that would mean that Weaning WT is 84. IF that is not correct Gelbvieh is using a different formula.
