On large industrial farms, calves are taken away from their mothers, often at birth, so that all the milk goes to humans. On a rural farm, while the calves are often penned separately, they're sometimes allowed to nurse naturally for half the mother's capacity. This makes for healthier calves, as well as for happier farms. Big Ag tends not to qualify as Rural, for Rural is spirit as well as location. Part of that spirit is being in harmony with one's land, surroundings, and supporting architecture, both structure and domesticated.
