Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk so dairy cows are artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives.
They don't tell you this in school.
Not only that but the calves would require a large percentage of that milk, and so a byproduct of dairy farms is often veal, at least for the male calves.
Then after only 4-5 years of this they are slaughtered because the milk production begins to diminish.
