Thanks. How do you proceed with the calves after they are separated? Are they sold, killed, kept, etc? Does what happens to them depend on a calves sex?
Most male calves are sold into organic meat farms once they reach 6 months. As far as I know they’re raised further till they’re fully grown at around two years old. But I’m no expert on this. From time to time we keep one for the herd.
Female calves are either sold to other organic dairy farms or we keep them and raise them ourselves. No calf is killed except for medical emergencies.
