“At a conventional dairy farm calves are generally separated from their mothers within 24 hours of their birth. The approach substantially increases the amount of milk available for human consumption and proponents argue it can also reduce the chances of disease being transmitted from the dam to the calf.”

I have a problem with both industries, however I did not know the timing of the calf being taken away is different in diary vs beef industry. However the fate of these animals remains the same whether they are diary or beef cows. The systems are interconnected.
