In the short run, some cows were kept in production longer than normal because slaughter facilities were running at full capacity. In the longer run, the slaughter scheme has had the unintended effect of increasing the dairy herd replacement rate, which with the more rapid introduction of superior genetics and the greater production potential of young cows may hasten structural change in the production sector.
