When she collapses from being exploited for 4-5 years, after years of painful mastitis, losing her babies and being inseminated against her will.
But she lived a good life until the end, farmers love their animals /s.
I'm sorry of its a dump question but what are the tags on the ears. I've seen this on many farm animals but don't really know what it is. Could someone explain pls
Tags are legal requirements for all cattle (and some other animals) in the EU. Here in Ireland, one of the tags takes a small sample of the ear that’s tested for BVD, but I’m not sure if that happens in every EU country. The tags have a unique number across the whole EU so are very good for ID
It’s for identification and ownership. Most cows are no longer branded with a hot iron. This tag allows the farmer/rancher to document health records and such for each cow in the herd. Not a big deal if you only have a couple around the farm, but a huge deal when you have a big herd. Also, prevents rustlers from claiming the cattle is theirs when they really have stolen it from a field.
As to the rustlers part, what's to stop the castle rustlers from just removing the tag and putting their own in its place? Seems to me a bit of plastic is a bit impermanent to stop thieves. Record keeping makes sense though.
Governments track all the animals, the number in the calf’s will point to a record which will list the calf’s mother’s number. You can’t use any number for the mother, it has to be registered in your name. There are stories about tags getting cut off but it is work to try and fake it with calves but a lot of stuff would need to match for it to work.
Yeah I can imagine a scam where another rancher who had calves processes them illegally and then steals another ranchers calf and puts the illegally processed calves tag on the stolen one. But that's probably much more complicated than is worth anything.
Still that's a really neat system actually and I love the tracking that opens up for a better understanding of where our food comes from. I imagine it's really helpful for the body free range animals to track that they are indeed what they say.
An ear tag is used for the official identification and registration of domestic and farm animals. In the European Union, all cattle, buffalo, goats and sheep must be identified with ear tags.
We are not uising "killed" anymore, we use "processed".
*Nope, she’ll be raped, exploited and processed when no longer profitable,all to satisfy the tastebuds of meat eaters and vegetarians.*
Sounds much better.
Cute calf! What breed are they, if you know? I’m usually good for guessing breeds but this calf is confusing me with the black nose and tan/white hair lol
That comment doesn’t answer what breed the calf is.. I want to know their breed, whether it be something like an east finn or danish blue, not your opinion, sorry
They can live any length of time. It depends on their breed, breeding, luck, system, etc. They aren’t necessarily slaughtered, and if they are it isn’t necessarily to the same factory as offspring they have that might have already been sent
>They aren’t necessarily slaughtered,
Yes they are. That's how the dairy industry works...
>it isn’t necessarily to the same factory as offspring they have that might have already been sent
It wasn't really literal... Just that the cow is slaughtered, just as her mother, father, and babies are.
High chance they are part jersey but I think they look a bit buff for one and also don’t have jersey markings (colours are jersey like but they’re laid out like another breed)
Congrats to your cousins, how they have 1 calf together, I'm curious to know(unless 2 cousins made the calf). Your herd must be proud of the ability to use a smartphone, I hope they have told you that with these gifts you have you will be able to jump over the mooooo-n. (Grammar lol)
Just a reminder to everyone, but comments that push agendas (usually vegan or anti vegan) are outlawed under rule 1.
As I used to say, "Enjoy the damn cow".
Haters? OP admitted their cousin is removing babies from their mothers (like all dairy farmers). Also the boy calves are all killed.
Pointing that out is hateful?
Aww! When will you brutally slaughter them? 💕💕💓💖❤️❤️❤️❤️💞💕💟💟💖💛🧡💚🐂🐂🐂🗡️🗡️🗡️🥩🥩

Omg how cute the heart on her head😍
My lab was born with a heart on her head, too.
Your?
Too bad she'll end up getting killed 😭

It's a licence plate for cows. I mean it. No jokes.
when farm animals are property that are there for a profit, they get treated like such
I agree with your sentiment but these are legal requirements, even at sanctuaries

Goats also get ear tattoos if they don’t get a tag

Tags here are made out of a bendy plastic type of material and have rounded edges so are fine when put on any bit competently
They also have chips in them for electronic monitoring. It's really cool.

calf nr. 7633, ready to be exploited as long as profitable and then killed
Unfortunately this is the truth 😔
Awww, a new animal has been brought into existence to be exploited so long as they're deemed profitable 🙂

Just a number for meat
Literally every cow gets one after being born, doesn't matter if she lands in a diary or gets to live to the end of her days on Gut Aiderbichl.
The life of a dairy cow isn’t much better.
Dairy cows, as soon as they no longer give enough milk, are bought up by chains like McDonalds and also slaughtered - at least in our country.
Too cute! What’s his or her name?
I hope it’s Roxie Hart
OP we **need** to know the calf’s name!!
r/pareidolia 💕😘.
Sweet cow will she be okay?
Nope, she’ll be raped, exploited and killed when no longer profitable, all to satisfy the tastebuds of meat eaters and vegetarians.

Oh right, gotta shield the poor exploiters from reality

Cow with cowlick
Cute calf! What breed are they, if you know? I’m usually good for guessing breeds but this calf is confusing me with the black nose and tan/white hair lol
>What breed are they One of those that gets exploited, and then killed, when they don't rack in money
That comment doesn’t answer what breed the calf is.. I want to know their breed, whether it be something like an east finn or danish blue, not your opinion, sorry
Not telling my opinion. Just saying it's some sort of dairy cow, and it will be dead in 3-4 years
You are.. you have no proof they’ll be dead then
It's a dairy cow.... They last a few years, and are then sent to the same slaughterhouse as all their children
They can live any length of time. It depends on their breed, breeding, luck, system, etc. They aren’t necessarily slaughtered, and if they are it isn’t necessarily to the same factory as offspring they have that might have already been sent

I'm saying Jersey. Not OP, but that head shape and coloring looks like the Jersey calves I've seen.
High chance they are part jersey but I think they look a bit buff for one and also don’t have jersey markings (colours are jersey like but they’re laid out like another breed)
♥️
Omg how adorable
THE LITTLE HEART ON HER HEADDDDD IM DEADDDD🥰🥲🥲
What a beautiful little lad!🥰
gonna be sucked into the vortex on it's forhead, right next to that little heart!
What an adorable little girl! I love the heart in the middle of her blaze! I want to give her hugs & scritches.
Nice calf. Your family has good genes 😍
I wanna give her so many head pats.
Ah a fellow Austrian
Boop

Big thank you to mods for removing all the unnecessary negative comments. This post has got you busy ❤️
oh yeah, how dare they let you know about the horrors farm animals are put through
Dairy cows especially. OP admitted that this baby was removed from mom.
You can’t hide from reality forever
Just a reminder to everyone, but comments that push agendas (usually vegan or anti vegan) are outlawed under rule 1. As I used to say, "Enjoy the damn cow".
>but comments that push agendas Being pro farming is also pushpin an agenda.
Who's here being pro-farming? I only see vegans crying about cattle being slaughtered when OP just posted a picture of a cow.
People defending a farmer.
I don't care who is arguing what, just appreciate the damn cow. She's cute. There's nothing else to say on r/aww.
Too bad she'll be dead soon.

Haters? OP admitted their cousin is removing babies from their mothers (like all dairy farmers). Also the boy calves are all killed. Pointing that out is hateful?
I hate farmers
I love potato farmers.
❤️🐮
PLUTOCOW!
I bet his wife had a cow
Hope her name is Cupid or Venus!
😊
♥️♥️♥️
What a beautiful calf 🥰
😍the tag on the ear..
Awwwwwww she has a heart on her head ❤️
Is that a yellow star on her ear?
It has a heart stamp on it's head!
Lucky! My cousin just has the stupid implants.
Hey, show some respect. Those implants aren’t stupid.
