Calves do not "breastfeed," actually, because their dams, the cows, do not have breasts like human mothers do. Cows have what is called an udder, and the action to which a calf relies on its mother for milk is called suckling. The length of time a calf--particularly a beef calf--remains a suckler is for around six to eight months.
