milk heaven let it flow

In order to produce milk a cow is made pregnant each year, usually by artificial insemination. Giving birth is often a prolonged and painful business, especially if the semen was from a larger breed of bull likely to sire a bigger beef calf. The pain is followed by the trauma of losing her calf, for it is taken away from her before it is three days old so that the milk produced for it can be sold to humans.
