The best time to let the bull in with the cow and calf is around 60 days after the cow gave birth. That is the time she will be receptive and ready to conceive another calf. You can keep the bull in with her and her calf until she is about to calve again, which will be in a 9 months and a couple weeks.

What are the names given to a calf at different stages of life?
A calf is a calf from birth to weaning. That calf is no longer a calf after weaning, but a bull (if male and intact), a steer (if castrated) or a heifer (if a female). If the calf is being used for beef, at weaning age it's called a feeder calf. A feeder become stocker steer/heifer/bull when put out on pasture, usually when it reaches around 12 months of age. The calf is called a finisher when it goes into the feedlot to be put on a "hot" ration prior to slaughter, then a slaughter bull/heifer/steer when it is sold to be slaughtered for beef. This part of the equation is primarily reserved for steers. A heifer calf is a female calf from birth. She becomes a weaned heifer when weaned, a heifer after she's gone through the weaning process, then a bred heifer when she gets pregnant for the first time. After she has had her first calf, she is called a first-calf heifer. She can also be considered a cow at this time. She will remain a cow until she dies of natural causes or illness, or is slaughtered for beef. A bull calf is a male (intact) calf from birth. He is referred to as a weanling bull when weaned, then a young bull after being weaned and is not quite a year old. He is referred to a as a yearling bull when he reaches a year old and until he turns 2 years of age. He will then be referred to as a 2-year-old bull when he reaches two. He becomes a Mature bull when he reaches full maturity by the time he's 4 to 5 years old, and remains so until he dies of natural causes or is slaughtered for beef.

Low birth weight is the genetics that a bull passes on to his offspring to be able to be small at birth so that the calf can easily fit through the pelvic opening of his dam. This is important as heifers have small pelvic openings and will have a harder time delivering a calf if the bull they are bred to is not a low birthweight or high calving-ease bull.

However, it is still undergoing growth until it reaches 3 to 4 years of age, which it becomes a cow (or heiferette if it still hasn't given birth to a calf yet) if it is female, or a bull if it's an intact male. Males that are castrated are still known as steers even after they reach maturity.

The calves are preyed upon by by lions and spotted hyenas. A calf can follow its mother only three hours after birth. A rhino calf stays with its mother until it is about two to four years old, when she has her next calf.

A calf starts browsing at about three months but will not be completely weaned for about another nine months. Until it is two to four years old it will stay with its mother, by which time she is pregnant again. The mother vigorously repels a calf that stays around until the birth of its sibling.
