I wouldn't necessarily say 'smart' due to them basing their entire eating habits over an inaccurate view of the dairy industry.
Farmers know that in order to produce good milk, they have to have good cows. And they know that in order to have good cows, they must get good milk. In the large majority of farms (in fact, just about all the ones I'm familiar with), calves are breast fed from their mothers. It saves time and money from having to hand feed the calves yourself.
Cows are milked a single time every day. This is due to time constraints in larger farms with hundreds of milk bearing cows and also keeps the quality of milk higher. The rest of the day, the cows graze and tend to their young.
