The article discusses that. H-2A visa programme can be used for seasonal work.

The entire animal husbandry industry all the way through slaughter, requires workers that show up daily.

I suppose it might be possible to have seasonal slaughters but milk and all the subsequent dairy products are done.

And any vegans that think is for the best, keep in mind it involves a genocidal like slaughter of all those dairy animals occurring within hours of workers being unavailable.

Feel free to show you really give a shit about these animals by getting ready to purchase them from these farmers and care for them for the remainder of the animal's life.

Dairy cows are slaughtered for meat once they're no longer productive enough anyway, aren't they? Either way they're going to die.

You didn't think they got to retire in a nice meadow, did you?

Ok, but they'd probably it would be only once, instead of the current unending cycle.
