A calf needs around 2 to 2.5 quarts or 4 to 5 pints of milk per day.
One special health need a calf has at birth is the mothers milk. If it is not available, the calf will need colostrum.

They have to be bottle fed milk replacer that is specially made for them. Milk replacer usually comes in a powder formula which is mixed with water and given to the calf accordingly. However, milk replacer doesn't need to be given to the orphaned calf if the owner has a cow that can be used as a surrogate mother for the calf.
No, absolutely not. A calf should be given milk formula designed for calves and calves ONLY, not for human babies. You could kill a calf if you give it baby formula because it lacks certain nutrients that calves need that human babies don't need or need less of than a calf does.
A calf needs milk until he's 3 months of age, but most producers like to have them on the cow for another three to five months before weaning them.
you use 1/4 of it.

because people need to drink milk rather than buy cars coz if you dont drink milk and you buy a car then you wont live for long so that is why there sell more pints of milk than cars
2 pints make a quart.
Who told you that a calf doesn't need it's mother? Every calf needs a cow to properly take care of it, no matter if it's their own or a surrogate cow-mom. Ideally you should have a cow already there to adopt that calf. But, if that's not obtainable, you need shelter, milk replacer, feed, water, and a good understanding of how to raise a bum/orphan calf so that it doesn't get sick and die on you.
Should be at least 4 pints
