Those cows that produce milk in Wisconsin for ten years or so before they stop using them as milk producers?/

They dont bury them.

You are correct but they darn sure are NOT used for steaks........ Its called hamburger.

Besides Dairy cows are in milk production for @ 3 to 4 years before they are harvested for meat. First milk parity begins at 2 years of age. So dairy cows are @ 5 -6 years of age before harvest.

FYI

Yes, but for the most part they don’t cut them into steaks. Think ground beef. Have you ever seen a round steak from one of those huge dairy cows, they are huge!
