// Won't there be a lot more cows on the planet if we stop killing them for meat? //

No. We breed them for food. We house and feed and vetinary care for them for profit. If there were no longer any profit then there would no no longer any reason to feed them, look after their health or shelter them. Their numbers would drastically decline.

Any idea why your 4 day week thread got pulled ?

They could be set free to roam the diminishing countryside, probably with burst udders.

[ToraToraTora]

Tora,
Yes, I think my screen needed refreshing on my device.

Wish the luvvie lefties would make their mind up. They’ve spent the last sixty or seventy years calling for the starving masses to be fed, for a more equal distribution of wealth, for active re-distribution of wealth, for the less well fed to have all the food that they can eat provided at a price that they can afford.....You're ahead of me here again aren't you?......Now they are campaigning for a decrease in the consumption of food and for a decrease in the consumption of raw materials. That is, they’re calling for a decrease in the application and distribution of the proceeds of wealth. All in the name of "green" policies.....who was it who coined the term watermelon politicians? Green on the outside red on the inside.

I think you will find that cows are bred for their milk and not for food

Will the council cut the grass then? :0)

// I think you will find that cows are bred for their milk and not for food //

Every year 2.6 million cattle (cows and bulls) are slaughtered for food in the UK. Usually at 18 months. More cows are kept for milk, and the unwanted calves go for the Veal trade.

wheres the village idiot when you need one to jump to the defence of the Labotomy party

Cows are bred to produce milk and this will go on until they stop when they are around 5 years old.. Steers (the male side ) are normally slaughtered around 18 months old and used for meat

Presumably Male and female cattle are 50/50 of the birth rate. The Males are killed earlier and the females are killed later. Surely after 5 years, it will again be 50/50 slaughter, but the age difference of the cattle at slaughter will be different (by 3 and a half years).
