Also to clarify for anyone not familiar, calf hutches are different from veal creates. Often see people confuse the two. They are similar in that they both confine calves but they look different (arguably veal crates are even worse than calf hutches)
Here’s an example of what veal creates look like for reference
Why do they confine them like that?
To stop movement so the meat is eztra tender. Veal cages immobalize tje calf for the same effect
In the dairy industry, calves are separated from their mothers shortly after birth. If they are not being sent to be killed for veal, they then need somewhere to house them. One option is a calf hutch where they hold them individually at scale. Calves there tethered to the hutch or they have a small fenced area around it
The industry claims they use them to reduce disease risk by putting calves apart like this, but the research is mixed on whether it actually reduced disease risk or not
