My DH was a herd manager , he looked after a very healthy and it seemed a happy herd.
They came into the milking parlour and seemed content to be milked.
All the chemicals that are supposed to be pumped into cows and therefore into the milk just doesn’t happen.
Unfortunately to get milk for us to drink cows have to have calves. Therefore calves are killed.
That’s the way it is, no getting round it. If you object then you are at liberty to avoid animal products.
Most of us accept this and are grateful that it is all managed for us.
We are carnivores.
It does seem a shame that because of our very strict food safety laws cattle are often subjected to a stressful journey to the abattoir but buying locally reared animals from a local butcher can reduce the stress.
