As long as the milk is straight from the cow, not the stuff that has been modified by humans (i.e., milk that has undergone pasteurization). Calves are best put with a nurse cow than if they were bottle fed.

Do dairy products imply that the young calves are to be slaughter so their mothers milk can then be kept for humans consuming instead?
The purpose of dairy products is to ensure health in humans, not as a means to imply to others that calves need to be sacrificed so that we can drink the milk of cows. Not all young calves are slaughtered right after birth, by the way. Heifer calves are kept to grow up to be milk producers, but bull calves are either (yes, unfortunately) killed for veal or raised as steers (after being castrated) for beef.
What nutrients do calves need?
Calves rely on their mother's milk for the first few months before slowly turning to a diet of what their dams eat over the next few months until weaning. Newborn calves can't have anything else for the few few weeks except milk because their stomachs are not suited for a diet of roughages as soon as they are born. It takes three months for a calf's rumen to develop to be fully functional. A bottle-baby can be fed hay, grain and even eat grass along with being fed milk from a bottle or bucket. Bottle-calves are fed milk-replacer formula until they are weaned at around 3 or 4 months of age. Calf-starter is often accompanied to such calves as those raised in dairy farms. Dairy calves are housed in separate stalls, conventionally as a means to reduce the spread of disease among the calves and to make it easier to monitor milk consumption per calf.
What is nursing calves?
