Yes. A newborn has not developed his own antibodies yet. He carries his mothers. He starts produces his own antibodies as soon as he meets pathogens. However, they are usually killed by his mother's antibodies. He will continue to receive antibodies from his mother's breast milk as long as he nurses. However, he will also start producing his own. Children are fighting all diseases on their own or with the help of vaccines.

What do you need to own a calf that does not need its mother?
Who told you that a calf doesn't need it's mother? Every calf needs a cow to properly take care of it, no matter if it's their own or a surrogate cow-mom.

But, if that's not obtainable, you need shelter, milk replacer, feed, water, and a good understanding of how to raise a bum/orphan calf so that it doesn't get sick and die on you.
