You realize that these cows are not feeding calves, right? **It's all excess. **

If you keep extracting the milk, they keep producing it, even years after their offspring has grown up.

I'm not sure what you mean. She would be feeding the calf if they didn't take it away from her. I'm not sure what percentage of them are allowed to grow up, given the popularity of veal.

They will continue to produce milk, but in factory farming they're impregnated roughly once a year to keep the amount of milk high and to give it more marketable qualities.
