Unfortunately the entire premise of your argument is based on a personal anecdote that's a gross generalization of vast number of cattle farms.

Let's be fair and acknowledge the difference between a small local farm and the larger "industrial"-like ones. I grew up in a farm, I know others too, people are kind to their animals.

Of course, the larger ones don't care. The same happens even when producing vegetables, no regards to nature in those cases either.
