Even if your numbers were correct, 18 months, the typical slaughter age of cattle, is before adulthood, and a long way before the natural lifespan of between 15-20 years.
Male cows are killed young for meat. Female cows are killed once they're less use for milk.
It shouldn't be surprising to you. It's just economics. It makes no financial sense to do otherwise.
I don't see any point in pretending otherwise and I don't know why you want to.
This is simply not correct, cows are slaughtered at adulthood because they also require time to fully grow and maximise the amount of meat.
Cows reach adulthood relatively quickly. You still seem to be measuring a cows adulthood comparative to a human lifespan which I have already pointed out is useless.
I'm going to repost what @[email protected] said:
So full weight is more like 2200lbs, whereas at 18 months they're only weighing 1200lbs, and aren't fully grown or adult. Also you can look stuff up on the internet, it's not hard, you don't have to make stuff up just because you don't like the facts.
It's uneconomic to keep them till they're adult, the fast rate of growth at the beginning is the profitable bit. Keeping them later costs farmers money they don't need to spend and can reduce the price of the meat that they're selling. It doesn't make any sense financially to let them mature.
male cows are killed at the same age as all other beef cattle.
