Calves can be killed and eaten by wolves, feral pigs, cougars, coyotes, bobcats, vultures, pythons, alligators, and bears--at least in North America. In other parts of the world, calves will often be taken by (in Africa) leopards, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, crocodiles, and snakes like the African rock python. In Asia, tigers and leopards are the top predators to take livestock like calves. Australia sees dingoes and wild pigs being the biggest threats to newborn calves. South America has the jaguar, anaconda, python, and caiman as potential threats to young calves.
Humans also eat calves in the form of veal. Veal primarily comes from dairy bull calves raised and finished to 3 or 4 months of age.

Muscle fibers in a calf grow in size and lengthen as the bones grow and develop. What a calf eats also determines the fleshing ability of a calf; a calf that is fed good quality milk and good forage is one that is more fatter, or has internal fat in with the muscle tissue as well as some external adipose tissue. Such a calf also tends to grow bigger than one that has been fed low quality forage and hasn't had much or very good quality milk. Such a calf tends to be thinner, leaner, and more ranky than a "soggy" calf.
Mainly wolves (actively hunting as a pack of wolves), or a bear (several species) who would kill a calf if they could get close enough.
A calf typically consumes around 2-4% of its body weight in milk or milk replacer per day. This can vary depending on the age and size of the calf, as well as their individual growth and health needs. It's important to provide regular feedings to ensure proper nutrition and growth.
