what are your thoughts about Brexit?

In the Netherlands, there is now a widespread system for milk cows, called robotmilking. Together with State laws that force dairy farmers to let cows graze freely in a meadow during spring and summer, it works very efficiëntly and is absolute FUN to see in action.

here's a link to a company which explains it in factory detail. (I have no affiliation with ANY company or farm, BTW) perhaps you give this some thought? http://www.lely.com/en/farming-tips/farming-support/concept-of-robotic-milking

female calves stay with their mothers and will find 'work' at the same dairy farm.

The steers are sent to another farm, presumably (I'm no expert, but a realist) for fattening up and slaughter.

cows are brought up with other cows, steers move to another farm

(I presume for fattening up and slaughter)

As an organisation who takes on the admirable goal of improving animal conditions locally, how do you feel about the selective indignation of 'conservationalists', who rather gulp up huge amounts of the publics' money and media attention by saving the whales instead of the millions of animals all around us?
