A calf is weaned at around 3 months of age (if bottle-fed) or 6 to 10 months of age if nursing from his mother. He learns to become independent from his mother during this weaning process. But he will forever be dependent on the herd since cattle are instinctively herd animals, and thrive in a social environment that includes many of themselves in a herd.
