why can’t we wait for animals to naturally die or are close to death before slaughter?

Question

Is there a reason? Is the meat nasty as they grow older? I doubt it’ll get us sick, lol. I’m just curious.

Answer 1

You can slaughter a cow after 2-4 years and harvest the meat. Or you can wait 20 years and get less and poorer quality meat. So you get 5x plus the meat and it’s better quality slaughtering them in their prime.
