Now, why would you want to take away a cow's calf after one month? Calves still need their mommas until they're around 3 months of age, and the cows do get very attached to their calves even after one month, so yes it would "hurt" the cow to take away her calf after only one month, not to mention the calf as well.

Why do rhinos chase away there older calf just because a new calf is born?

This is called "weaning." When a rhino cow gives birth to her new calf, she doesn't want her older calf around to take away the milk that her new calf is in more need of than her older calf, and the older calf may hurt its new sibling out of spite. So the rhino cow has to drive the older calf away and start getting him/her to learn to live on their own.

Heiffer had calf 4 weeks premature. had to take the calf away to bottle feed it. it has been away from mother for 7 days and is now able to stand can we put him back and will she restart lactation?

Unfortunately, the heifer is very unlikely to accept the calf back at this point. A mother cow bonds with her calf within the first few hours after birth; if this was disrupted, the cow will reject the calf if reintroduced later. Also, if the cow has stopped lactating, she is very unlikely to restart lactation.


Can a calf be put on a cow that has had a miscarriage at 6 months?

That depends on how recent the cow has had the abortion and if she's still lactating. Yes if all of the above conditions are right, but it may take some effort to get her to accept the calf. Chances are she may or may not accept the calf right away.

A cow looses her two month old calf how long does it take her to dry up and what is the risk factor for mastis?

It can take a couple of months for her to dry up. There is a high risk of mastitis, your best option is to get a calf and try to have her adopt it, we have done this many times on our beef farm. You will have to help the calf out and try to keep her from hurting it, you can even restrain the cow for the calf to suck. This is a long process and it need a lot of patience. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please ask!
