Actually my thinking up until now has been that dairy herds ended up as beef for you lot and leather goods etc. In fact I happily wear leather shoes, belts and a jacket on the grounds that it's using bits of cow that might go to waste otherwise.
ISTR that old dairy cows make terrible beef and it would be illegal to eat animals over 30 months anyway, because of the BSE thing. I'm thinking probably dog food and bonemeal?
That does sound more likely in the post-BSE (a problem caused by feeding animals animals to make quicker profits) world. Still at least they're not landfill.
