@smokingrannyiam These calves appear to be dairy animals. Dairy calves are
immediately taken away from their mothers so that all of their mother’s
milk can be sold.

What happens to the baby bulls born? Do they get sent to slaughter?

@portofhueneme When they’re that young they don’t need it, they’re legs are
too weak. All of those babies will be Dairy cows so as they get older
they’ll be moved into pastures but at that young age they are sustainable
to too many diseases and the bigger cows would bully them.

Andrew, if you are older than 5, your naivete undershoots truth. A better
question for Dr. Peck: How do you manage to hold your own newborn close
while stroking that of another mother who would love to do the same…and
reconcile the guilt of knowing that YOU are the obstacle to both of their
peace? Is there some mantra that gets you through? NOT rhetorical. I truly
want to understand. Just like I’d like to know what it takes to climb Mt.
Everest…I couldn’t. What does it take? Really.

Don’t these calves and cows need exercise? When and where do they get it?

Why are these calves in pens being bottle and bucket fed? Why aren’t they
nursing from their mothers? Sure would be a lot less work than hand feeding
them. My brother has a cattle farm and the only time the calves get hand
fed is if the mother rejects them and then they are taken to the cattle
sale and sold for veal ASAP.
