e.g. to get the cow to make milk you have to get it pregnant and thus you get an unwanted calf.

For industrial farms, yeah I think that calf doesn't have a happy ending.

That said, if you don't want the calf, there's almost always going to be someone that does. We'd raise and then butcher the male calves from our milking cows. (We did milk the cows for commercial purposes).
