Yes, certainly! Cows (and calves) are highly food-orientated, and can be trained by using tasty treats to get them to learn to lead or train them for show. However, there can be a limit to doing this. You shouldn't rely solely on treats to train a calf, they should also learn that the way you speak to them (like "good boy!" or "good girl!") or touch them (i.e., scratching them in their favorite spot) can/should also be taken as a reward.

How does flesh of a calf change as it gets older?

Muscle fibers in a calf grow in size and lengthen as the bones grow and develop. What a calf eats also determines the fleshing ability of a calf; a calf that is fed good quality milk and good forage is one that is more fatter, or has internal fat in with the muscle tissue as well as some external adipose tissue. Such a calf also tends to grow bigger than one that has been fed low quality forage and hasn't had much or very good quality milk. Such a calf tends to be thinner, leaner, and more ranky than a "soggy" calf.

Should You Be Physical When Training a Dog?

No. Dogs are smart. You need to learn to "speak" dog. The dog wants to please you, but he needs to understand what you want. Be firm. Be the alpha. But don't hit the dog. otherwise he won't respect you. Go to the library and get a training book if you need to. And there's nothing wrong with using treats to reward good behavior. Just make the treats microscopic in size or you'll have a fat dog.
