Done.

You could have just put the first part of the postcode. At least that's what I did.

That's no fun.

Done, but sorry not giving my postcode. You should've asked to select from a region/county.

Well, you rear cows, you grow crops...

Not totally sure that needed to be said!

Actually - "Don’t use a small bull on first-calf heifers. This is the wrong way. Grow the heifer out well, not too fat or too thin. A rule of thumb is to not breed heifers before 15 months of age and weighing less than 700 pounds when bred"

Let's not use an American site while we are discussing the correct use of English!

The calves of dairy and beef cows are likely to have very different lives. Beef cattle are generally slaughtered after one to two years in Europe but they can be up to five years old in the case of extensively reared animals. Female dairy calves are usually reared on for milk production.

more male dairy calves are now reared humanely for beef

I'll agree raised can be interchanged with reared in this context, but not grown
