Dairy cows must be made pregnant and give birth in order to produce milk, but more than half of Brits are in the dark about this fact

Also worth noting

Elsewhere in the AJP survey, 83 percent of respondents were not aware that calves were removed from their mothers within 24 hours of birth. This is standard practice in farms

    I looked it up and apparently Their lactation cycles are only 305days which feels like a short period of time for such a large animal. my family kept goats and as long as you kept milking them they could go well over 6 months and they were tiny compared to a cow.
