No no no no no!!! DEFINITELY not in the straight form, as she will easily get toxicity from it!! You're better off giving it to her in a loose-mineral form with other minerals like iron, cobalt, salt, copper, manganese, etc. Cattle only need like 0.5 mg of Selenium per day, and only if you are in an area that is Selenium deficient. If you are NOT in an area that is NOT Se deficient, then you can completely forget about feeding a dairy cow selenium!

Are dairy cows slaughtered?

Yes, when they are to old to breed and the milk production drops off they are eaten. Smaller (family) dairies usually care more about their cows and will sometimes give a cow a year off if she is normally a good milker, but eventually she will have to be replaced by a younger cow. On occasion a favored cow may be turned out to field and retained as a farm pet or mascot. That is if it is a small grass based dairy and not a confinement dairy operation.
