No. Cows (being the mature female bovines) are not killed for cheese, they are only killed for meat. Cows need to be alive in order to produce milk which is made into cheese. Only those dairy calves that add no value to the dairy farm (bull calves and freemartin heifers) are sold and fed up to be slaughtered for veal. Rennet is taken from the stomach of these calves and used to make cheese.
