Or a brand from a hot iron
She's had her horns removed with a hot iron at a very young age as well
Not necessarily. It is possible to breed cows that do not grow horns.
Polled cattle are a thing.
She was also likely taken from her mother shortly after birth, never to see her again.
And she'll get killed as soon as she stops lactating.
I have a cow. She's just a pet, we don't milk her and I don't eat beef.
That's wonderful and how it should be. I'm just assuming that the one in the photo isn't a pet, but maybe, who knows.
Don't let that stop these guys from cherry-picking worst-case scenarios.
It happens to literally every dairy cow
Clearly not, as meliaesc explains.
They literally said they didn't milk it which would make it not a dairy cow
Which scenario do you think is more representative of the average cow's life?
Yes some animals get all the luck.
yup, can't have the calf drink too much of that milk
Also need to raise the calf alone in a tiny plastic shelter for a few weeks so it can be butchered.
