exaggeration doesn't help your credibility
It's not really an exaggeration when the cows get an average of 3 months a year "off" being pregnant, and are killed around the age of 6 years old when past their prime milking age.
you seem to understand exactly what was exaggerated
What's your definition of "constantly pregnant"?
I didn't care for your semantic interrogation. it's obvious the user was exaggerating for effect.
How you gonna quibble over semantics then tell them off for semantic interrogation?
Something being pregnant for 75% of its life is pretty constant.
it's not 75% of their lives, either. they're not able to breed when they're calves.
Senor Semantics does it again!
75% isn't semantics. it's a statistic.
You just said it wasn't 75%.
And quibbling over what constitutes 'most of' something's life is semantics. I reckon plenty of folks would view anything over 50% would likely constitute 'most of'.
I never said anything about "most of".
'constantly' then
let me know when you figure out which semantic argument I'm going to be ignoring
I know how pedants work. You're not really making a point, just being obtuse for the sake of it.
I said it's not 75% because the other user claimed it is. it's not semantics.
I meant constantly as in the second dictionary definition of happening super frequently

The broader point was impregnated many times. Having a few months "off" does not make much of a difference to that point
