Cows have already been weaned, so you would be referring to a calf, not a cow. The weaning age of a calf is 3 to 4 months when on the bottle, or 6 to 10 when on the cow.

What is a young male cow called?
A young "male cow" (which is non-existent, by the way) is called a bullock or a young bull or, if not of weaning age, a bull calf. That is, if the so-called "male cow" is intact. If not, it is called a steer calf if castrated and is still relying on its mother's milk, or simply a steer after weaning or after it reaches around a year of age.
How long does it take for a cow's udders to dry up after weaning?
Only a couple weeks.
What is the weaning age of cattle?
Most calves are weaned at around 6 to 10 months of age.
How long do calves depend on their mothers?
Beef calves are the most dependent on their mothers from birth to when they reach 3 months of age. They can be kept on with their mothers for another 3 to 7 months to help in getting higher weaning weights at weaning time. Early weaning (minimum is 3 months) is only used when the cow is losing condition from nursing her calf, or if there is drought. If cows are in good condition and forage is plentiful, they will stay on for 6 to 10 months. In dairy cows though, the calves are pulled off a day or two after they're born, then raised on the bottle. A cow will let her calf nurse for up to two years if she doesn't get pregnant within that time.
Is it true when a cow bellows three times without stopping a storm will come hopping?
Not really, no. A cow will only bellow like this if it's during weaning time, or when she gets separated from her calf and is calling out to it. She will also bellow like this when she's hungry.

How long can you keep a cow and calf separate?
A cow and calf should not be separated unless you are weaning them. Thus, if you are asking about weaning a cow from her calf and vice versa, you should keep them separate for at least 6 to 8 weeks, longer if the calf tries to go back to suckling his momma again when you put them back together.
How long does a calf need milk before being weaned?
A calf needs milk until he's 3 months of age, but most producers like to have them on the cow for another three to five months before weaning them.

Can cows have no milk?
Yes. A cow that is not producing milk is called a dry cow. Dry cows are those that are a result of the weaning process, and are granted a period of rest before giving birth again.
How many months after weaning her first calf will a cow get pregnant?
Negative three to four months, assuming the cow gets bred two months after calving and the calf is weaned at six months of age. Seriously, a cow is already bred and into her second trimester when her calf is weaned. Cows are not like human females where they can only get pregnant again at least a year or 8 to 12 months post-partum.
When taking away the Calf how long does the Cow produces Milk?
This will depend if she is at her peak of lactation, when the calf is drinking the most milk, therefore she is producing more. In this case she can be still producing milk for 3 or even 5 months after that. However, if the calf is nearing weaning age (about 10 months), than the cow might be producing milk for about 2 months. This will change from cow to cow depending on how well they produce milk, heavy milkers will produce longer than light milkers.
