Sheep

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/24/3455 Sheep live to be 11 but are killed at 6

The average culling age (females, males) was 5.9 and 4.4 years and 6.9 and 4.9 years for sheep and goats, respectively The average age at which adult sheep were removed from the farm (‘culling age’) was 5.9 ± 0.1 years for ewes and 4.4 ± 0.1 years for rams

Where are all the male sheep? Seems like they must be murdering them at a young age, since the ratio of females to males is so high and yet the adult culling ages are about the same for each sex.

The median ratio of female to male animals in sheep flocks and goat herds was 22:1 (interquartile range: 12:1) and 25:1 (interquartile range: 13:1), respectively

Looks like Greece has CAFOs for sheep and goats too, they just call it "intensive management"

In both sheep and goat farms, the culling age was earlier in farms with intensive or semi-intensive management

When their "productivity" drops they murder them.

The inverse association of culling age with milk production reflects the progressive decrease in milk production of ewes and female goats with age [13,34] and coincides with the increasing culling rate in those animals.

Babies are stolen from their mothers

Lambs were taken away from their dams (at the age of 50 ± 1 days) earlier than kids from theirs (at the age of 65 ± 3 days) (p < 0.0001). Newborns in farms with intensive or semi-intensive management were also taken away from their dams earlier
