A calf only needs to be registered if it is a purebred or fullblood calf born of a dam and/or sire that are also registered to a breed registry. Otherwise, don't worry about it. When a calf needs to be registered depends on the rulings of the particular breed registry you are registering the calf to.

Right after birth, or as soon as the calf is out of the birth canal.
How soon can a newborn calf nurse?
Within a few minutes to an hour or two after birth. The sooner a calf nurses, the better.
What does the dolphin do as soon as she gives birth?
If everything is allright, she'll push her newborn calf up for some air as soon as possible.
How soon will a cow breed back if she gives birth to a dead calf?
If she has given birth to a stillborn calf or aborted a calf, she may ovulate 14 to 16 days after calving. However, you shouldn't get her bred again until 45 to 60 days after calving, to allow complete involution (or shrinking of the uterus).

What do cows do as soon as they get out of their mother?
Cows are mature female bovines that have already given birth to a calf, thus they are far beyond the point in time where they have came out of their mother. Therefore, this question has no merit, unless you can rephrase the question as a "calf" instead of a "cow."
How long do you need to be a citizen to vote?
If you are 18 or older, you can vote as soon as you are a citizen provided you are properly registered.
How late can a heifer begin building an udder if she is due in less than a week?
Anytime, really. She can start lactating as soon as she has her calf, or a day or two prior to birth.
Does any cow survive if her calf is dead in her womb?
A cow can survive if her calf is dead in her womb. But if that calf is not expelled or pulled out soon, she could die as well.
After a cow calves should you milk her or not?
It depends. Is she a beef cow or dairy cow? Are you wanting to keep the cow with the calf or separating the calf from the cow? Usually with beef cows you don't bother with milking them unless you have to because the calf isn't up and suckling soon after birth and you want to encourage the calf to be up and suckling, or to get some milk from a cow or heifer that won't accept her calf right away to feed that calf with. With dairy cows, though, if you've separated the calf from the cow right away, it's ideal to milk that cow to collect the colostrum to feed that calf--and other calves--to the benefit of the calf's health. But, if you are wanting to keep the calf with the cow for a couple of days, then no, it's not necessary.
What special health needs does a calf have?
A newborn calf should have colostrum as soon as it is born, because it contains antibodies and immunoglobins that are crucial to the calf's health and immunity to the mass of bacteria and viruses floating around that could make a calf sick. There is a 90% chance that the calf will not survive if he does not get colostrum soon after birth. A calf also relies on milk for the next 3 to 6 months since his stomach isn't developed enough to live off of grass and hay alone. Other slightly lesser important things include a shot of vitamin A, D, and E, and Selenium (only if the area is Se-deficient), and other vitamins and minerals that may be needed. Later on, when the calf is around 8 to 16 weeks of age, an 8- or 9-way clostridium vaccine should be given, and when the calf's around 6 months of age, a vaccination of IBR/BVD. You should have vaccinated the cow prior to her giving birth so that you don't have to vaccinate the calf, as often it's cheaper and better to vaccinate the cow a few months before she gives birth.
