When is the best time have calves?
April to May.
Do calves at 6 weeks of age get cattle grubs?
They can get grubs at that age if there is no deworming or anti-parasital program on your farm. If you deworm at the appropriate times, especially the cows, then calves at this age will not get grubs. But if you are concerned about bottle calves, then you should see your large animal veterinarian for a dewoming program for these bottle calves of yours. I would also recommend seeing what program is best for lactating cows with calves.
Which is the best shed design for rearing calves?
There are many different types of shed designs that can be used for calves. The best one is one that only calves can access and not the cows. This means a traditional lean-to shed that is around ~8 ft in height, ~16 feet deep, and ~18 feet long with a board about 32-36 inches off the ground that the calves can just walk under, but that comes up to the chin or nose of the bigger cows. Check out the link below for a picture of this design. For rearing calves, a calf hutch is best, which may be something like the second picture below.

What are the disadvantages of cross bred dairy calves?
Crossbred dairy calves cannot be registered on any breed registry because they are not a purebred. Crossbred dairy calves may grow to be cows with a lower milk production than their dams (especially if the dam of these crossbred calves is Holstein). This is especially true if the crossbred calves have a beef sire and a dairy dam, and are really only best to be used for beef production if they do not meet the needs of the dairy producer.

Bear calves could be referred to those calves that have such thick fluffy hair that they look like little bears with four legs; these are often referred to yak calves, Highland calves, or Galloway calves, all of which are born with thick long hair. The term could be a mis-spelling of "bare calves" which may be those calves that are orphaned and are raised in a bottle or bucket by humans.
