The artificial increase in milk production by injecting cows with hormones takes its toll after how many years? 30-40?

It did not matter that they (for your sample of 'they') caused health problems to cows - including mastitis - and it also did not matter that the side-effects of these hormones on human consumption were not fully considered.

One commercial that I clearly remember was by one of those "farmers" saying that if you as a farmer do not inject your cow to increase milk production, you are simply leaving money on the table.
