Cow give less milk after one month for her calf?
Check what you're feeding her. That could be the reason why she's declining in milk production. Poor feed equates to poorer milk production. At this stage you must be increasing the quality of the feed, not let it decrease. If you let it decrease then you will be having problems like this and a hungrier calf. Get your feed tested, and start supplementing with extra feed and add some mineral as well. However, it's not always due to feed that a cow's milk production will be declining after one month. Illness, mastitis or other issues that must be addressed and talked to about with a large animal veterinarian should also be considered. Your vet may also tell you that, if it's not illness or infection that's the problem, it could be due to what you're feeding her--or not.

How do you know that your calf is a stud?
You don't. You won't know until you know for sure that your calf is male and has not been castrated or steered, and whether he comes from good quality bloodlines. He must have great conformation and must be of weaning age (i.e., around 6 months of age) in order to even remotely tell if he's going to be a stud bull or not.
Must you breed a dairy cow every year for milk production?

How long does it take to raise a holstein calf to 400 lbs feeding cracked corn and alfalfa pellets?
Such a generic term can lead to very skewed calculations as to how much grain is needed to raise a calf to the lucky number 400 lbs. What if that calf is already at 400 lbs and the questioner doesn't even know it? Breed, age, current weight, type of grain being fed and if there is other feed being fed (i.e., hay, silage, grass) are all things that must be known first and foremost before this question can possibly be answered.
How do you feed a feeder calf?
Depending on the breed and its age, it must be fed high quality forage every day, and a little grain (though this is optional if you want to slaughter it as a grass-fed bovine). Having it graze on good to excellent-quality pasture is also the best (and cheapest) option to fattening up a feeder calf.
How many of the animal's legs must a cowboy tie in a calf-roping contest?
Three. Both hind legs and one of the front legs must be tied in a calf-roping contest.
How long must a calf be breast feed?
A calf should get colostrum within an hour or so after birth. Colostrum in the cow will be produced for the next 24 to 48 hours after the calf is born, but at eat time frame, the quality of the colostrum decreases, which means that if the calf receives its colostrum after 24 hours or more, its ability to survive, and grow into a healthy animal will be diminished. It's CRUCIAL that the calf gets his colostrum within a couple hours after birth, if he is not up and suckling (or has not been up and suckling) by the time you next check on mom and calf.
How long must a calf be separated from the cow to be weaned?
Calves are typically weaned from their mothers when they are around 6-8 months old. The separation can vary depending on the farm management practices, but it is usually done gradually over a period of 1-2 weeks to minimize stress on the calf.
