A cow is a much larger animal than a calf. A calf is almost a miniature version of his mother (a cow), only he's more leggy, not as blocky, and way more cuter. Cows produce milk, so they would have an udder between their legs that the calf nurses from, whereas the calf only has tiny nipples (if it's a heifer) or a little nut sac (if it's a bull) hanging from between the legs that cannot be viewed until you have the calf on its back and spread its legs apart to determine it's sex. Calves are more bouncy and playful, were as cows are more lazy and mellower and would rather graze or sit and chew their cud than kick up their heels and chase each other around, inviting another to butt heads.
Basically, in a nut shell, a calf is the "baby", offspring, or young of a cow that can be either male (a bull calf) or female (a heifer calf), and a cow is a mature female bovine that has had a calf.

How do you get a beef cow to accept a calf that isn't hers?
The best thing you can do is to skin the dead calf of that beef cow's, and drape it over the orphan calf's body so that you trick the cow into thinking that that calf is hers. But this will only work if you have that cow's dead calf on hand and not if that cow doesn't have a calf or if you're wanting to put another calf on that cow. Other tricks include smearing cod liver oil or perfume or some other strong-smelling solution that's not poisonous to the cow nor calf over the cow's nose and all over the back and head of the calf, putting a dog in with the cow and the calf, etc.
