From the comments at the original post:

Yes, the fetal calves are removed from pregnant cows at the time of slaughter. However, these calves are considered to be byproducts of the meat industry -- they would be just as dead even if their blood was not collected. If you eat meat or milk and milk products from cows then you support this system.
The calves are hypoxic by the time the blood is collected, and are not aware at the time of collection (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16032283 )
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) found in steak is the exact same molecule as BSA from fetal calf serum.
