Healthy calves will have a good appetite, be alert with eyes shiny and ears up. Thier coats will appear shiny, have alot of energy, and bowl movements will begin to turn brown in colour and take more shape (first bowl movements are yellow).
As calves turn into yearlings healthy females will begin to cycle every month, still appearing bright and alert. Their appetite will be strong and will have strong regurgitations. Bulls will begin to jump one another (showing promiscuity), and will begin to develop muscularity while still being alert and showing all of the above characteristics.
Healthy cattle regardless of age will show above characteristics, however, mothers will be alert as to where the calf is, and have a high milk production level.
