A young cow is referred to as a "calf." Calves are typically born weighing between 60 to 100 pounds, depending on the breed, and they are weaned from their mother's milk typically at around 6 to 10 months of age. During their early life stages, calves grow rapidly, and they require proper nutrition and care to develop into healthy adult cattle. The term "calf" can also refer to young members of other species within the Bovidae family, such as buffalo. In cattle farming, the management of calves is crucial for future productivity and herd health.
