Beef is beef Andy. Not unusual for old cows past their prime to be sold
at the farm auction as "canners and cutters." Mostly turned into
hamburger, pet food, and leather goods. When they drop a bull calf the
calf goes the same route.

Feeding a dairy cow is expensive if there is no return. Dairy farmers
have always sold off their cows for meat if the milk prices drop below
feed costs.
