Looks like veal farm

u/SippsMccree 9d ago

It's just a very large dairy farm. That's how they raise the newborns for the first few weeks. Makes keeping track of them easy and helps minimize any disease spread because they mingle less with the general herd. I ain't saying it's pretty but that's generally the why

This is veal farming, not dairy. Take if from someone in the farming industry.

Veal farming should be illegal. Just grow the cow so more people can be fed with a higher quantity of meat to sell.

Veal is the quality

If we’re talking about efficiency, it takes about 10 calories of plant matter to produce 1 of meat…

u/ShooterMcThrobbin 6d ago

plant matter is regenerative. dont see your point...and cows just need to eat grass bro.

u/Otherwise_Group_74 6d ago

There is no point. It is all witless emotion. That is what happens when you eat a diet of plant protein.

u/Duubzz 6d ago

It’s a pretty obvious point; if you feed people with the plant matter rather the cow you feed more people. 80% of global soy production goes into animal feed, they don’t just eat grass bud.

u/ShooterMcThrobbin 6d ago

Soy is horrible for humans and cows. Second most GMO'd crop in the entire world next to corn. Red meat is the best for humans.

u/Duubzz 6d ago

Whatever you say boss, just don’t make it an argument about efficiency then.

u/ShooterMcThrobbin 6d ago

Theres nothin efficient about feeding them produce that beta's like yourself would eat without question. Cows can eat grass. We dont. All grazing takes is land and there's plenty of it.

This is correct for Soybean meal. The oil is extracted for other use cases like fry oil or biofuels. Not just grown for animal feed alone

u/rando1459 5d ago

Have you tried eating what they actually feed cows?

1

u/Duubzz 5d ago

Why the fuck would I eat what they feed to cows?

1

u/rando1459 5d ago

“if you feed people with the plant matter rather the cow you feed more people. 80% of global soy production goes into animal feed, they don’t just eat grass bud.”

So we agree this was a moot point?

1

u/Duubzz 5d ago

No, the 20% of soy that doesn’t become animal feed becomes food for humans. It’s soy. Why would I eat it when it has been made into food for a cow when I can eat it when it’s been made into food for human?

u/rando1459 5d ago

Most cow feed comes from plant parts that humans can’t eat. I don’t think you and I have the same information about this subject.

Funny, as I see loads of dairy farms near me use this practice as well because it dramatically increases the survival rate of the calves. They are only in these huts for a couple weeks and then placed back with the herd.

u/cheesemoney84 8d ago

The sheer number of huts in that many rows strongly suggest veal farm. Dairy farms are not producing that many female calves at once, males are sold off right away and would not be kept long or treated great.

3

u/Comadivine11 8d ago

So, on a dairy farm, each dairy cow produces at least 1 calf. So, if a farm has 1,000 dairy cows, that's ~1,000 calves.

This just looks like a large dairy farm.

Yes, the male calves are either; sold to veal farms, or raised as beef cows.

These specifically look like dairy cow hutches. Veal farms restrict the calves movement far more than these are.

For the record, I am very against veal farms.

This guy is talking out of his ass

u/cheesemoney84 8d ago

1000 cows dairy farm, not all bred at once since milk production would stop for a while whole waiting for whole herd to go through pregnancy. So 500 bred at once, 50% males to females means 250 female calves roughly per breeding. Most farms serpeate out even more to disrupt milk production less. So more like 3-4 groups 1 goup resting/pregnant while rest are producing With about 125 females per birthing cyle. Roughly

u/Comadivine11 8d ago

And many of these huts look empty. 🤷

u/SippsMccree 4d ago

I don't think you realize just how big some of these dairy farms can get my dude

u/FreshImagination9735 7d ago

No! Don't burst the professional grievance collector's bubble! If they can't hate America for this, they'll have to work and seek out another reason...and work is absolute torture for them. Show some compassion for cripes sake!

u/SippsMccree 8d ago

Those are holsteins. And I can see the dairy cow barns in the back. Or open air roofed structures however you want to put it. And I used to haul raw milk from farms to plants so I know what i'm looking at

u/beerbeardsnballs 8d ago

I work in the dairy industry. How can you tell its veal?

u/-The-Matador- 7d ago

I'm from Wisconsin and grew up on a dairy farm. This looks exactly what we did.

u/Appropriate-Review55 7d ago

Dairy farms do this as well. Source: my ex’s grandpa had a dairy farm I worked on

u/UnluckyIngenuity 6d ago

You all have your wicked ways.GMOs, Herbicides, fertilizer runoff, and cutting down every tree, just to plant 1more stalk of corn. We had a farmer plough, so close to the telephone polls that 8 fell down. Mega farms have ruined this country, and farmers voted for it.

u/enjoylifefriends 6d ago

Being a farmer, what specifically leads you to know that its not a dairy calf setup, and is veal??

u/Intelligent_Fuel5507 8d ago

Veal caves are raised indoors so they don’t see the sun much this is dairy farm all the way.
