Female cows are never artificially inseminated on his farm, he said. The cows at Goodale Farms are kept in the pasture, where nature takes its course and calves stay with their mothers. Goodale said he has 40 cows, including the first one he bought when he started the dairy a decade ago.
“Mothers produce between five and six pounds of milk per day and calves can only drink about one pound per day,” Goodale said. “If we don’t milk the mothers they will get sick.” Goodale said he tried to relay this to the protesters outside his farm yesterday.

The OP says "image".
There's a lot more to image than looks.

Most modern dairy cows generate more milk than a calf can drink.
Cows don't have "breasts" that lactate on demand; milk is stored in the udder.
Cows can't release the udder contents on their own so if a modern dairy cow isn't "milked" (even after the calf has had his/her fill) serious problems will occur to that cow.

I consume dairy.
Some of the giant dairy farms are producing loads of veal and the hormones used to increase production might not be super healthy for people.

that's why it's illegal in europe and that's why we are not morbidly obese. like bernadette sanders.

So what about eggs, do vegetarians only eat unfertilized eggs as a rule? would you have to commit seppuku if you found out the omelette you ordered was made from fertilized eggs?

the lack of basic general knowledge among some of these CC members is astounding...
they ask questions that are taught to elementary school kids & that can be answered within 0.0007 seconds if they would just type it into a internet search engine..
but they cannot even figure that much out..

I somewhat suspect that he knows a lot more about it than you are giving him credit for. You are giving in to your odd compulsion to make a rude response where no rudeness was needed, and that's preventing you from thinking things through.
The idyllic pastoral scene that tzor posted, with cows ranging free and calves staying with their mother, does happen. It is, however, exceedingly rare. The overwhelming majority of dairy farmers see their calves as a liability, not an asset, and ditch them as quickly as possible. Sometimes they are sold for veal production; other times, when veal prices are low, they are just killed outright. In most cases they are separated from their mother within 24 hours. The amount of milk the calves need may be small, but greed rules, and even that small amount is seen by most farmers as a needless loss.
