How Long Do Cows Live? |
|
Answer» The life of a DAIRY cow varies from farm to farm and from cow to cow; some can live for as long as 20 YEARS while others may have a much shorter life. Dairy farmers work hard to keep cows healthy for a long productive life. HOWEVER, removing cows from the dairy herd is a common practice that allows farmers to BRING in new, more productive cows, thus ensuring a steady supply of milk. Meat from cows that are no longer MILKING is a valuable source of safe and nutritious food.
