it's is absurd to discuss consent from a cow. do you ask locks for consent before you force your keys in them?
I don't, since locks are inanimate objects that lack the ability to feel and think. Do those qualities apply to cows too?
I sincerely hope that you think humans should be asked for consent before impregnating them. But you don't seem to think this applies to cows. What qualitie(s) does a cow lack, that a human animal has, to justify this distinction?
consent must be informed. since cattle cannot be informed, they are identical to locks in matters of consent.
Says who?
it's the definition of consent. if we don't agree about this, we can't discuss consent at all

The word informed isn't even brought up here. And looking for "informed consent" i only get things related to medical procedures.
