What hapens to the calves after birth to dairy cattle. are they slaughtered and used just to ensure milk production?

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.
