It is a good idea to keep them separated for about a month, this is to ensure that the mother wont let the calf start to suckle again.
It doesn't really matter, as it depends on when the calf was born and when you are able to go out and band the calf.
It is still a calf if it has a mother or no mother. Maybe you could call it an abandoned calf.
If the calf is very young, it is not abandoned. The mother will leave the calf to draw away any predators. The mother will go back as soon as she thinks it is safe to do so.
A stray calf is a calf that has wandered off away from his mother, and/or has been separated from his mother by either the herd moving to another pasture, or by them being sorted, or simply by the fact that that little calf went exploring a little farther than he should have.
Most often a calf's mother is referred to as the dam of the calf, or more commonly, a cow. If it's a heifer that has had a calf for the first time, some folks like to call her a first-calf heifer.
This all depends on the breed. Three-month-old calves of different breeding will weigh more or less than the other. For instance, a Charolais calf will weigh more than a Jersey calf, or a miniature Angus calf will weigh less than an Angus calf (one that is normal in size and proportion).
No. The bull should be separate from the heifer and her calf simply because it's less stress for her and enables her to mother up to her calf without having to be getting after the bull if he tries to interfere with her.
A poddy calf is a not calf which eats the pod of peas. A poddy calf is an orphaned calf; one who has lost his or her mother.
The baby is called a calf and mother is a cow. Together they are called a cow-calf pair, or "mom and baby."
Yes, if it has a mother and its mother has udders and the udder has milk and the calf is liking it.
This question cannot be answered without knowing the characteristics of the mother, father, and calf.
