So like, what do you do with dairy cows after they're no longer making milk? What kind of meat can they use them for? I guess I just always assumed (wrongly, obviously) that they'd be substandard meat since other cattle just sit around eat all day and aren't under that same kind of stress to produce milk or whatever.

Actually your assumption is pretty much correct. It's definitely not prime beef. An older cow will likely end up in fast food ground beef or things like pepperoni. A younger milk cow could end up in lower scale steaks and things like that. Basically, the older the cow is, the meat gets tough. Especially with dairy cattle, their energy is going into milk production and not packing muscle onto their frame.
Hope that helps!
