It depends on the type of calf. A dairy bull calf will live up to or around 4 to 6 months before being slaughtered for veal. A beef steer will live up to around 2 years of age before being slaughtered. A heifer calf kept as a replacement (who will become a cow) will live anywhere from 5 to 20 years of age, depending on her productivity. A bull calf kept as a herd bull can live to about the same age of the heifer calf kept to become a cow.

When a rhino cow gives birth to her new calf, she doesn't want her older calf around to take away the milk that her new calf is in more need of than her older calf, and the older calf may hurt its new sibling out of spite. So the rhino cow has to drive the older calf away and start getting him/her to learn to live on their own.
