    Don’t cows only produce milk after giving birth, which is why they are inseminated to keep them in a perpetual pregnant then milk producing cycle?
    Not sure i would classify that as consenting

      Cows can produce milk indefinitely if they’re continuously milked, but the yield goes down and it’s bad for their health. Most farmers allow the udder to rest a couple of months a year to maximise profits, which necessities impregnation.
