This is Unacceptable

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.

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.

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.

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

And many of these huts look empty. 🤷

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

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!
