Cows only produce milk when they've recently had a baby, so farmers get their cows pregnant every year. The females become the new milking cows, and the males go into the grinder. The males aren't used for meat because different breeds are used for milk than for meat.

the vast majority of the males are brought to full weight before slaughter

This is not true. Dairy Bobby Calves are used for veal.

Squeamish people being unwilling to eat veal is the main reason that they are not all utilized for that purpose.

Dairy Bobby Calves are used for veal.

almost none of them do end up as veal though.

[-] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Agreed. People are wrongly disgusted by veal and think they're doing something good by avoiding it. More people should eat more veal.

i didn't say it's wrong to be disgusted by anything, nor am i telling anyone what they should or shouldn't eat.

It's a little better than that, males are kept pent in too small enclosures and fed only milk until they're too fat to move, THEN they're slaughtered, because veal is pretty fuckin tasty

[-] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

hardly an cattle become veal at all. like far less that 5%.

Ah, the wonders of childhood obesity

This is class A bullshit.

Milk is harvested for human consumption. What would be the point of dairy farms if you’re feeding the milk to the offspring?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Milk-fed veal is most definitely a thing. My uncle had a whole farm based on it when I was a kid.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

Yes farmers are definitely known for maximizing cruelty for giggles over efficiency and profit, and that's why they murder bulls for fun.

Perhaps have even one conversation with an actual dairy farmer in your life.
