Delft Blue Farms in Canada have been raising calves in group housing settings since 1981. This video shows the process of calves being assembled from local farms in a receiving barn where the animals are weighed, checked, vaccinated. They are then divided into groups of similar weights to be distributed to company or contracted farms to be raised as milk fed veal. In this particular video, the calves are being shown delivered to a company farm, where they are housed on flexible plastic slats made from recycled plastic. The calves have 24 hour access to an "automated cow" where they drink milk through nipples. Most calves would find these nipples themselves eventually, but a technician makes sure that all the calves are made aware of the source of the milk. The calves intake is controlled and monitored by a special ear tag that monitors the calf's intake each time they feed for the automatic milk machine.

Calves sound annoying

okay I have nothing against eating meat. But just because we want to make meat into veal and then let cows not be out in the wild sunlight with their mothers Exedra that is just plain cruel. I do not eat veal. I think that if we're going to kill an animal to eat it should have a normal life at first all we need is beef. We don't need veal.

vegan diet my ass... i dont give a fuck about milk either.... I LOVE BEEF!! aaawwww poor calves.... so full of fear !! next thing you know he's on our dinner plate!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
-
but everyone will be totally fine with eating them in two years or so when they're full grown right? or do they have to be in burger form for it to be ok?

Cows feel no pain because they're stupid and they're lots of them. Whales feel pain because they're smart and they're endangered, when you're endangered; you automatically feel pain.

Horrific. Milk is pure SHIT; calcium from it never sticks to human bones and it´s the easiest way to get cancer, heart failure, headache dibetes. To hell with this.
-
Please don't judge me if i am wrong here, but are some of these cows kept in the dark?

YOU ARE 100% right my step daughter grew up with a beef farming grandfather once they learned how things worked they both decided for themselves to stop eating the animals they said it just made sense they didn't want any part of the filth, fear & suffering of these animals that if you meet them before you meat them are kind gentle sweet & friendly creatures, sad soft eyes, no wonder every year pregnant their babies taken from them just days or weeks old you know the rest.

PERMACULTURE, BIODYNAMIC FARMING, AQUAPONICS FISH FRESH FRUIT & VEG YOUR OWN FERTILIZER, CHOOKS AT HOME EGGS FOR EVER OURS HAVEN'T STOP LAYING SINCE WE GOT THEM OVER 8 MOS AGO. Meat & Dairy have the highest levels of radiation which is in the rain, snow wind & now soil & food chain esp in N.America get a geiger counter I did then I moved to the southern hemi when I saw the readings after Fukushima. Better look again, they are right the industry is subsidized already & still hurting. Poison shit

A HORRIBLE BUSINESS! SHAME ON YOU. People the only way to stop this cruelty is to stop eating the meat it is radioactive since FUCKu SHIMA anyhow. Their umbilical cords are still on they are pulled away from their mothers when just a few days old often I hear them calling for their mothers at night after separation in the yards for sale here in australia it is so sad I can't sleep when this happens. Humans suck. IF they want to eat someone's young they should eat their own, hey flesh meat Yummy

There is no way to make veal any less cruel. The fact is, they spend their short life away from their mother, fresh air, or sunlight. It is beyond me how any farmer can bury his morals for a cheap buck.

Look, I love animals too. But, we'll see how Vegan you'll stay when the nice fresh produce you buy in the Grocery store isn't available because of a disaster. You obviously aren't growing enough to feed yourself...so in the end, you might just eat your dog out of hunger. Hard facts lady. Also - animals eat animals...lion eats gazelle, etc...and your statement of the "Meat and dairy industries will be out of business within the next decade" is BS. Only 8% of the world is vegan.People need to eat.

I like fish better natural sea fish hmmmm instead hormonic cows which is so bad for health
-
Well we wouldn't have done it like that if we had the facilities to do otherwise. We just have animals for our own use, no market purposes. And there are far, far worse ways to go. And yeah, I fed them every day. And in return I get bacon from them. Death is not the worst fate in the world.
-
... cows make far, far more milk than their calves need. And clearly you've never worked with cattle. Our steer calves moo quite rarely, only when we are late feeding them. They have only ever mooed in response to hunger. And honestly, I don't like separating the young from their mothers but there are plenty of good reasons to do it and it can easily be done without either party grieving. You don't really sound like you know what you're talking about.

It's not professional to make a living based off the suffering and death of innocent creatures.Meat and dairy industries will be out of business within the next decade cause people are going vegan due to the abuse and exploitation going on.It's why i became a vegan,not just for health,but for these innocent animals who don't deserve to be imprisoned and a death penalty for no crime.You should rather invest in selling dairy cows as pets and helping people learn how to keep a barn.
-
Clean or not,they should be allowed a normal life with their mothers.What about the mothers who are greiving the loss of their babies.Why cut their tails off?You think it's cool if someone were to cut your dog's tail off for wagging it?The dairy-veal industry needs to stop their massive abuse and exploitation of these innocent animals.People are going vegan because they love and care for animals,not just health and diet purposes.I quit meat and dairy and am working to DESTROY this sick industry
-
People are going vegan by the thousands every year because we don't want our fellow creatures to suffer and be deprived of their normal lives..just as you wouldn't the government sticking you in a FEMA camp,depriving you from family your own family till you die.People are waking up and so should you.You should seriously look into promoting families having their OWN dairy cows and get into the business of helping people set up their own barns.People are interested and would pay for that service.
-
Dairy and veal industry is going to be out of business very soon because everyone is going to start turning to ALMOND milk,RICE milk,SOY milk,COCONUT milk ALL which are HEALTHIER and have 50%MORE CALCIUM than dairy.You know why i went vegan and why most of us are willing to quit dairy and meat...because of the ABUSE and EXPLOITATION of these animals who have done no harm to you or ANYONE.You will go out of business soo because people are finding out the truth.
-
They are mooing for the mothers you STOLE them from and in the mean time their mothers are GRIEVING for the loss of their babies which were forcefully taken from them.Milk is for BABY cows,NOT for your greedy asses!
