Yes, actually they do. A heifer can be weaned and separated from her dam for several months, and when they are united back together, they do and will recognize each other by sight, smell and sound. A cow herd can often form family groups within the main herd, and in these family groups are half-siblings, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, and mothers.

Do male cows care for their young?

First of all, there is no such thing as a "male cow." Secondly, it is the cow that is primarily responsible for the care of her young, not the bull. Bulls rarely ever "get the chance" to care for any of their calves, because most of the time they are either set on breeding his girls or is separated in another pasture by himself or with other bulls and steers. The rare chances that a bull does get to care for his calves is if the producer likes to have his bull in with the cows 24/7/365 in a year-round breeding operation.
