Just read a horrific article about dairy cows - they are artificially impregnated from 1-2 years of age in a contraption some farmers call "rape racks". Their calves are removed and they are milked and impreganted continuously till they are exhausted at about 3- 6 years of age ( normal life span would be 20 years) then sent for slaughter. Male calves are often killed at birth, females destined for the same exploitation as their mother. Dairy cows are not stupid creatures - they can communicate by touch , smell, vocalisations and body language.
