How much does a holstein cow weigh in lactation?
It depends in the breed! If you are talking about dairy cows the average Holstein Cow weights 1,300lbs give or take a couple hundred pounds. But that is for a mature cow. Dairy cows usually have their first calf at about 2 years old and not considered mature until they are about 5 or 6 years old!!! Cows only start producing milk when they have their first calf. Holsteins are the most common dairy cows in the world and the biggest and largest of the dairy cows. Jerseys are much smaller for example!
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.
