The methods underlying the factory farming practised worldwide today — feeding with silage and easily digestible concentrates from all corners of the world, year-round stall-keeping on concrete slatted floors, the practice of dehorning, and breeding for maximum output crammed into a sharply shortened lifespan — weaken the cows. It means the loss of the capacity to develop their own self-contained soul-body. The dairy cows are already spent in their youth and as a rule are gone after four and a half years — that is, after two "forced" lactations.
