Does a cow mate with her own male calf?
No. Her "male calf" which would be a bull calf is much too young, when considered a calf, to mate with his dam. Typically producers try to separate or wean bull calves from their dams before they (the bull calves) start puberty. And in most cases bull calves are too young to breed their dams when their dams ARE in heat, or are separated from their mothers before their mothers calve again. However, if a producer wants to introduce inbreeding into their herd, especially if that herd is a purebred herd, then it is likely that a cow will mate with her son, but only when he's at breeding age, which is over 12 months of age.
