His cows gave birth. What do you mean traumatized?
To be fair, birth is pretty traumatizing, but this guy didn't cause it!
A good rancher is usually the indirect cause of their cows giving birth because they determine when mating occurs.
It wasn't sheer coincidence that so many cows had calves in the same 48-hour period. Dude planned it that way by mating (or artificially inseminating) all of his heifers at the same time.
Maybe you should look into a bit of what ranchers actually do...
I've worked on ranches and farms, and I do understand the arguments against meat farming etc. but a rancher helping cows give birth is not the issue

The person you’re responding to is an aggressive vegan reactionary.
They abuse their cat or smth I can’t keep up with the vegan drama these days
Committing the unconscionable crime of knowing where steak comes from.
Willing to bet that cat lives 6x longer than those calves.
No they committed the social faux pa of being a gigantic douche bag.
Being a dick to people doesn’t change them.
Pretty please don't separate the newborn from it's mom right after birth only to kill it later and confine the mom in a tiny space and forcibly milk her dry.
Words of a reactionary extremists who hates kittens.
Thats how commercial milking works though. Which part is incorrect?
The ethical treatment of animals part.
I find the process of gathering milk from a cow unethical. If you know exactly what goes into it and think its ethical, then oh well.
I agree with you.
Well this post is 5 years old, and there aren't newer posts since 2021 since poster passed away, so I dont know for sure they are abusing animals, but the idea is that calves are separated from their mothers within the first few days usually. Its a traumatic experience for the baby and the mother.
The cow was forcibly impregnated which is pretty rough but thats a different issue.
Milk is murder.
Where did OP say he raises the cows for milk?
