    Totally unrelated, but that’s actually what we’re doing with cows. Killing them of at age 3 bc they don’t give enough milk anymore

      It’s what we always did with cows. To have a dairy cow you need to repeatedly get it pregnant. Why keep feeding an older less productive cow that has already calved 4 or 5 times when you’ve already got yourself a few new heifers.
