They use the ones that are culled for making milk. Bunch of male calves that the dairy industry has no use for. They're not raised for meat because they're not as cost effective to feed as beef cattle. Gotta keep getting the cow pregnant to keep making milk.

the vast majority of make calves are brought to full weight before slaughter.
