What happens to bobby calves?
Bobby calves is an Australian term for orphaned or motherless calves. Bobby calves get spoiled and well-cared for by their human caretakers, getting milk, feed, shelter, bedding and water every day until they've grown up to be too old to nurse, and when they're able to forage for themselves. Some calves may be slaughtered as veal, others may not be slaughtered until they're around 14 to 20 months of age, and still others may grow up to be breeding cows and bulls.

What are bobby cows and what happens to them?
The term 'bobby calves' means newborn calves that are less than two weeks old and not with their mothers. Essentially, they are surplus to dairy industry requirements as they are not required for the milking herd. Some bull calves will be reared for veal production and about one quarter of the heifers will become replacements for adult milk-producing cows. Bobby calves are housed together and fed colostrum, milk or milk replacer, usually only once a day. They are then sold, mostly for slaughter, at five days old. Products from processed calves include young veal for human consumption, valuable hides for leather and byproducts for the pharmaceutical industry. Each year, this is the fate of around 900 000 bobby calves in Australia. Because they will very soon go to slaughter, bobby calves often do not get the same standard of housing, cleanliness, care or attention as the valuable replacement heifers or the bull calves being reared for veal. .
