Nope!! NONE of the stomachs are for a calf to grow in! The calf is conceived and grows in the UTERUS or WOMB of the cow, not her stomach! A cow's stomach is for digesting the food she eats, not for growing a calf in.

Everything about COWS?
When Cows are younger they are called a Calf, when they get older they are called a heifer, and they are only considered a cow after they have had a calf and producing milk. A bull is not a cow. The difference between a bull and a steer is that a steer has had its testicles removed so it cant produce anymore. There is a common mis-conception about there stomach. They have been told to be having 4 stomachs but it is 1 stomach with 3 compartments. The Rumen, Omasum, Reticulum, and the Abamasom.
What is the weaning age of a cow?
Cows have already been weaned, so you would be referring to a calf, not a cow. The weaning age of a calf is 3 to 4 months when on the bottle, or 6 to 10 when on the cow.
What is the difference between cow's and human's circulatory systems?
There are many differences between cow's and human's circulatory systems. The cow system has to work around 4 stomachs for example.
What age is a cow born?
A cow has already been born at least 4 years ago. And a calf is born at 0 hours.
How long it takes for a calf to be full grown?
A calf is in the womb for around 285 days (though the exact time frame depends on the breed of the calf and the cow), and is raised on the cow for 6 to 10 months until weaning. After weaning a calf is no longer referred to as a calf anymore. However, it is still undergoing growth until it reaches 3 to 4 years of age, which it becomes a cow (or heiferette if it still hasn't given birth to a calf yet) if it is female, or a bull if it's an intact male. Males that are castrated are still known as steers even after they reach maturity.
How do you get a big calf?
There are a number of ways that you can get a big calf: 1. Buy one 2. Breed a high birthweight bull to a big cow 3. Breed a big bull to a big cow to get a big calf 4. Feed the cow high nutrient feeds throughout her gestation period, especially during the last trimester 5. Decrease phosphorus supplementation during pregnancy (this is correlated to larger birthweights)
Which is the ruminant having 3 chambered stomach?
A cow...but it's not actually multi-chambered they have 4 separate stomachs.
Heiffer had calf 4 weeks premature. had to take the calf away to bottle feed it. it has been away from mother for 7 days and is now able to stand can we put him back and will she restart lactation?
Unfortunately, the heifer is very unlikely to accept the calf back at this point. A mother cow bonds with her calf within the first few hours after birth; if this was disrupted, the cow will reject the calf if reintroduced later. Also, if the cow has stopped lactating, she is very unlikely to restart lactation.
What do you do if a calf dies inside a cow?
This depends on how long the calf has been dead for. If it's only been for one or two days, the calf should be pulled out. However this can be a very gruesome task, and is definitely not for those that are faint-hearted nor those who have weak stomachs. The reason I say this is because often the calf that is inside the cow has already undergone rigour mortis (or the energy in the calf's muscles are used up to the point where it is very stiff), making the calf far less flexible than it would be if it where alive or died just minutes or a couple hours ago. When rigour mortis sets in (which often takes around 4 or 5 hours after death, depending on the size of the animal), it makes it extremely hard to pull the calf out because its ligaments are so stiff. To make matters worse, the amniotic fluids that would otherwise make the uterine and vaginal tracts lubricated, have been excreted, making the uterus quite dry, not to mention pose a LOT of pain for the cow when she tries to push the calf out. But the sooner you get the calf out, the better.So, here's the gruesome part (for those of you who get offended easily, STOP READING NOW). A saw has to be applied to the calf to cut off it's head, and even possibly its legs, to make it easier for the dead calf to exit the uterine tract. The calf is already dead, so it won't feel anything as the vet or you saw the head off, plus the blood from the calf makes the uterus a little more lubricated and a little easier to pull out. Often the head has to be taken off because it just will probably be too swollen to fit through the birth canal, and the front feet should be left intact to allow the calving chains to be applied and to help pull the calf out. Of course the cow will be in a lot of pain as she tries to help push it out.A C-section could be extremely dangerous to the cow because it could invite infection to the cow, especially if the calf has started to rot or decompose in the cow. Toxins will more than likely get into the rest of the cow's system and kill her. For cows that have had a dead calf in them for the last 3 or 4 days, it is best to put her down. If the calf is removed from her, she will undergo so much shock and so much toxins that were being held in her uterine tract will be let loose that she will die within 5 to 20 minutes after the dead calf is removed.That's why it is IMPERATIVE and CRUCIAL that you ALWAYS keep an eye on ANY calving cows. Don't leave a cow for a day or two if you've seen her trying to push but has had no success. Check on her in an hour or two to see how she's progressed, NOT after a few days!!! If you suspect a cow hasn't calved after a certain period of time, get the vet out IMMEDIATELY. If you can't get the vet out right away, get her in the headcatch and reach inside to see why the calf isn't coming through, and try to correct the problem yourself. Get the calving chains on the calf once you've positioned it correctly and start pulling. Do not wait for a day or two to see how she's progressed: often by the time you eventually decide to get the calf out (a day or two later), you will have already lost the calf.
