    It’s slaughter weight, not full weight. Lots of female cows are kept alive for another few years for milk and calving.

        Says the person who has been splitting hairs for nearly 24 hours. For reference, here’s our original interaction:

        At least 50% of them are killed - very, very few males make it to adulthood.

        this is incorrect

        They’re slaughtered at 18 months, and that’s before adulthood. I was correct. You continue to work very hard to find some way to make this correct statement sound incorrect.

          it’s the average lifespan of beef cattle. whether it’s splitting hairs to insist on the moment of adulthood.
