You can consider weaning the calf when it's 6 months of age or more. How long after she's bred that you can wean the calf off her depends on how long after she calved you had her bred. If you had her bred about three and a half months (~80 days) after she calved, then you should consider weaning the calf two-and-a-half to three months after she's been bred.

How long is a cows labor if the calf is breech and the feet are out?

It'll go a lot quicker if you get in there and pull the calf out as fast as possible. Backwards calves, in most cases if you see it happening, should be pulled ASAP. Don't wait for the cow to do it, because it the calf has no space to breath if the cow decides to stop pushing and take a rest. You MUST get that calf out immediately so it can live and breath, otherwise you will end up with a stillborn calf on your hands.
