Get it in a warm dry place after it has been born and after you have ensured the calf is alive. Then bottle feed it with colostrum for the first 24 to 36 hours, then slowly wean it of colostrum to replace it with milk replacer. Do this only if the newborn calf is an orphan and you cannot find a serrogate mother to accept it.

∙ 11y agoThe best thing a farmer can do for a newborn calf is let its mother (being the cow) take care of it. Otherwise, the calf must be tubed as soon as possible with colostrum (NOT milk replacer), dried off and warmed up with some warm towels, and kept in a warm place such as a calf warmer, calving pen or hutch until it's time to try to get the cow to mother up with the calf--IF, that is, the cow rejects the calf at first.

Why do rhinos chase away there older calf just because a new calf is born?
This is called "weaning." When a rhino cow gives birth to her new calf, she doesn't want her older calf around to take away the milk that her new calf is in more need of than her older calf, and the older calf may hurt its new sibling out of spite. So the rhino cow has to drive the older calf away and start getting him/her to learn to live on their own.
