Disease or a blockage in the gut will cause a calf to stop eating. This is something you need to take up with your local large animal veterinarian immediately if you wish to have a hope of saving the calf.

Will it hurt the cow to take away her calf after one month?
Now, why would you want to take away a cow's calf after one month? Calves still need their mommas until they're around 3 months of age, and the cows do get very attached to their calves even after one month, so yes it would "hurt" the cow to take away her calf after only one month, not to mention the calf as well.
Do treadmills cause damage to calf muscles?
no if they did then all running would cause calf injuries. if you stretch off properly then you should be okay :)
Can a cow be bred while nursing a calf?
Yes.
What a three month weight for a calf?
That depends on the breed. Since this is in the Jersey cattle category, the weight of a three-month old Jersey calf would be around 150 to 200 lbs at the most.
Why is a baby dairy cow taken from their mother when they are first born?
Newborn dairy calves are removed from their mothers shortly after birth and ideally before they nurse from their dams for several reasons: 1. The cow was bred to produce milk, which only happens after she gives birth. The farmer doesn't want the calf to drink the farmer's product. 2. The calf nursing on the cow can cause the cow to develop mastitis, an infection in the udder, which would reduce or potentially eliminate the cow's ability to produce milk until she had another calf. 3. There are several chronic and nasty diseases that are transmitted through milk from the cow to the calf - preventing the calf from nursing on the cow keeps the calf from getting sick.
How do you stop a calf from nursing the wrong cow?
First make sure if the calf is indeed nursing from the wrong cow. Then separate the calf and his mother into a different pen or pasture and let them stay in there for a few weeks. Make sure it's just the pair that's in there and there's no other cows in there with them that the calf may decide to latch onto.
What time of the month should you castrate a calf?
It doesn't really matter, as it depends on when the calf was born and when you are able to go out and band the calf.
What is the Average weight of a 1 month old beef calf?
That all depends on what breed that beef calf is. A 1 month old beef calf can weigh anywhere from 80 lbs to over 200 lbs or more.
What will cause a 2 month old calf to die?
Pretty much anything, but the two most likely reasons could be blackleg and scouring. You better get your vet out to do a necropsy on the calf, as if it is blackleg, you better get those calves vaccinated for blackleg ASAP.
Why does your three month old calf have blood in her urine?
My first thought would be a urinary tract infection; a veterinarian would be able to assess this and provide treatment.
How much should a three month old calf weigh?
This all depends on the breed. Three-month-old calves of different breeding will weigh more or less than the other. For instance, a Charolais calf will weigh more than a Jersey calf, or a miniature Angus calf will weigh less than an Angus calf (one that is normal in size and proportion).
Will a cow become pregnant while there is a calf still nursing on her?
Yes. For beef cows that are suckling their calves for as long as 6 to 10 months, the breeding period starts 45 to 60 days after the calving season has ended, in which the cow will get rebred, but her calf will still be nursing from her.
