How long do cows last before going to slaughterhouse (if there is one)?

Well if one of these was taken recently was probably 2004 but these not ordinary new butcher afraid to work in new but not at all the sizes are not even right what is not even a favor but I'm not sure if not take me out to others think it's funny pretending to be like something else running amuck with a chew toy on mouth well cows being that skinny hmm must have stopped eating the hay so they must have been on a bovine diet🤭

For a start that's a dairy cow in the photo so it'll have a longer life than a beef breed. Beef cattle are slaughtered when up to a profitable weight, around 2 years. A dairy cow around 5-6 years. Some butchers will sell "dairy beef" which is retired dairy cows.
Cows can live 20 years, and there's reports of 30

In reality they become very susceptible to diseases such as TB, BSE, and johnes as they age.

Pretty sure it depends on the gender. Many males are slaughtered quick but females stick around for years to be a milk cow.

I would imagine when they are feed enough or whatnot
