Summary

In the tightly managed world of modern dairy farming, every cow must give birth to keep producing milk. Roughly half the calves born are male. Unable to lactate and often poorly suited to traditional beef production due to selective breeding for milk yield, these bull calves have long been treated as low-value by-products.
