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.

How many months after weaning her first calf will a cow get pregnant?

Negative three to four months, assuming the cow gets bred two months after calving and the calf is weaned at six months of age. Seriously, a cow is already bred and into her second trimester when her calf is weaned. Cows are not like human females where they can only get pregnant again at least a year or 8 to 12 months post-partum.
