[QUOTE="dun, post: 60028, member: 34"] In many cases with dairy animals, "used up" is the proper term. Production, age, lack of breeding back, those all enter into the equation. They have the same with holding time frames as any other cow does when it comes to anti-biotics etc. Yes some sicks cows go through the barns, but that's a buyers issue not a producers. If nobody wants to buy them they wouldn't get sold. As to why the dairyman don;t eat them is pretty simple. How many old cows can they eat in a year- 2 years- 3 years.If they were rendered that is a cost, at leat at the sale barn as butcher/killer cows there is a small monetary return instead of a cost. With the price of milk as volitile as it is, every buck helps. dun [/QUOTE]
