Calves: We have two types of calves, beef calves which are reared either for meat or to breed more beef animals or dairy calves who will grow until they have their first baby calf at the age of 2.5 years. Then they will have a calf every year. They can live to the age of twenty, producing milk to be sold in the shops.
