Calves raised indoors grow faster than those raised outside because they are fed more often. Indoors they have more access to food and are limited to how much they can move around.

What are bear calves?
Bear calves could be referred to those calves that have such thick fluffy hair that they look like little bears with four legs; these are often referred to yak calves, Highland calves, or Galloway calves, all of which are born with thick long hair. The term could be a mis-spelling of "bare calves" which may be those calves that are orphaned and are raised in a bottle or bucket by humans.

Where does north America get most of their cattle from?
Other cattle. Cows and bulls that are raised for reproductive purposes are kept to produce calves which grow into cattle which are raised for meat production or as replacements in the breeding herd.
What hapens to the calves after birth to dairy cattle. are they slaughtered and used just to ensure milk production?
Calves are taken away from the cows a day or two after birth. They are then raised either as veal calves (mostly bull calves are used for this) or raised for the feedlot (like feeding them until they reach around 18 months of age). Most females are kept back and raised as replacements.
Do dairy products imply that the young calves are to be slaughter so their mothers milk can then be kept for humans consuming instead?
The purpose of dairy products is to ensure health in humans, not as a means to imply to others that calves need to be sacrificed so that we can drink the milk of cows. Not all young calves are slaughtered right after birth, by the way. Heifer calves are kept to grow up to be milk producers, but bull calves are either (yes, unfortunately) killed for veal or raised as steers (after being castrated) for beef.
What are advantages of breeding dairy cows?
Breeding dairy cows produces calves which subsequently makes them produce more milk in the next production year. Calves are also raised as replacements (if they are heifers) for the other cows, as these calves have been selected, through the process of sire selection, for giving more milk per year when they mature into cows.
What do you get from beef cows?
Beef calves. Beef cows are mature female bovines that have had a calf, and are primarily used in cow-calf production to produce calves that are raised and slaughtered for beef. However, when the beef cow is no longer productive, she gets slaughtered and turned into hamburger and sausages.
What eats a calf?
Calves can be killed and eaten by wolves, feral pigs, cougars, coyotes, bobcats, vultures, pythons, alligators, and bears--at least in North America. In other parts of the world, calves will often be taken by (in Africa) leopards, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, crocodiles, and snakes like the African rock python. In Asia, tigers and leopards are the top predators to take livestock like calves. Australia sees dingoes and wild pigs being the biggest threats to newborn calves. South America has the jaguar, anaconda, python, and caiman as potential threats to young calves. Humans also eat calves in the form of veal. Veal primarily comes from dairy bull calves raised and finished to 3 or 4 months of age.
