Dairy cows must be made pregnant and give birth in order to produce milk, but more than half of Brits are in the dark about this fact

Also worth noting

Elsewhere in the AJP survey, 83 percent of respondents were not aware that calves were removed from their mothers within 24 hours of birth. This is standard practice in farms

    Were you aware that cows are impregnated every 324.56 days?

    I think even that question is confusing. I would honestly answer No. I don’t know the gestational period of a cow exactly or how often they need to be impregnated to produce milk. I’d assume less often, wet nurses produce milk long after impregnation. It doesn’t mean I don’t know about impregnation.
