Dairy calves can only be a day or two old before they are able to live outside of a shelter. Beef calves are born outside all the time and only need shelter if they are born during winter (winter as in the type of winter that is experienced in countries such as Canada and Russia).

Calves are weaned around 6 to 10 months of age. It is at 6 months of age that they are able to live on their own, but still keep with the herd.

A calf can be weaned from his mum at around 8 to 10 months of age, which is when he'll get kicked off if he's being weaned naturally.

How many day months or years does a calf live?

It depends on the type of calf. A dairy bull calf will live up to or around 4 to 6 months before being slaughtered for veal. A beef steer will live up to around 2 years of age before being slaughtered. A heifer calf kept as a replacement (who will become a cow) will live anywhere from 5 to 20 years of age, depending on her productivity. A bull calf kept as a herd bull can live to about the same age of the heifer calf kept to become a cow.
