The only problems I can think of when weaning a dairy calf is possible stress and maybe an upset stomach when the milk replacer is suddenly not given to them anymore. But really, no problems should really arise when weaning a dairy calf, as they should be already on full feed, and already have been relying less on the bottle or bucket than on the feed they are given.
It could mean two things: one is removing the calf from the momma cow or vice versa, and two, gradually decreasing the bottle calf's dependancy on milk to zero.
Dairy cattle.
Milk cattle are also called Dairy cattle or Dairy cows.
Dairy cattle like Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Jerseys.
Dairy reproduction is the breeding and milking process of dairy cattle for the purpose of milk production.

Dairy cattle
Breeding, calving, and weaning/culling.
Calving Weaning Breeding
So with 80 head of cattle, we have a 1:3 ratio of dairy to beef, respectively. That translates to: for every head of dairy cattle there are three beef cattle. Since, mathematically, 80 total head of cattle with a 1:3 ratio don't really work out to nice, round numbers, we will have to work with fractions and such. 1:3 ratio can be converted to a fraction: 1/3. 1/3=0.3333333... So, with 80 head of cattle, we find the number of dairy cattle: 80 x (1/3) = 26.66666666.... Which we could round off to 26 dairy cattle. Since we have 80 total head, we subtract to find how many beef cattle are in the herd: 80 - 26 = 54. So the answer is thus: If there are 80 head of cattle, and the ratio of dairy to beef cattle is 1:3, then there are 26 dairy cattle and 54 beef cattle.

Because of the close confignment of dairy cows. Beef cattle are not in close confignment.
