Alternative agricultural uses for male dairy calves include raising bob veal (generally slaughtered at 2–3 days old, though age may be as young as 2 hours or at most 1 month old), [4] [20] raising calves as "red veal" without the severe dietary restrictions needed to create pale meat (requiring fewer antibiotic treatments and resulting in ...
2008 California Proposition 2 and 2018 California Proposition 12 both established minimum requirements for farming egg-laying hens, breeding pigs, and calves raised for veal. Few veal and pig factory farm operations exist in California, so these propositions mostly affect farmers who raise California's 15 million egg-laying hens.
Proposed by the Humane Society, the measure set quality of life standards for pregnant pigs, veal calves and egg-laying hens for the products to be sold in California. The California rule on pork ...
A calf that has lost its mother is an orphan calf, also known as a poddy or poddy-calf in British. Bobby calves are young calves which are to be slaughtered for human consumption. [1] A vealer is a calf weighing less than about 330 kg (730 lb) which is at about eight to nine months of age. [2]
Some of them will grow up to take the place of older animals in the milking herd and thus are sometimes generally referred to as the replacement herd. [10] The others, as well as most male calves are considered surplus dairy calves and are slaughtered for meat, such as veal dairy beef, or killed on farm. [11]

[106] Cows produce milk until three weeks before birth. [103] Over the last fifty years, dairy farming has become more intensive to increase the yield of milk produced by each cow.
Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork ...
Cattle are castrated, their horns are removed and third-degree burns (livestock branding) are inflicted on them, all without anesthetic. Cows used for their milk have calves removed from them shortly after birth. These calves are sent to veal farms. Chickens bred and drugged to grow so quickly that their hearts, lungs, and limbs often can't ...
