To stop a mature bull from nursing, it's best to gradually wean him by reducing the frequency and duration of nursing sessions. This can be accomplished by separating him from the mother during certain times of the day, providing alternative food sources, and ensuring he has access to water. Additionally, using physical barriers or distractions can help discourage nursing behavior. Always consult with a veterinarian or livestock specialist for tailored advice and support.

A bull. Or, if you want to be more specific, a mature bull. Otherwise, just "a bull" works just fine.
The feminine form of a bull is a cow. Bulls are mature intact males used for breeding cows and heifers, and cows are mature female bovines that have had at least two calves.
Mature Bull ~ 1,147 kgs Mature Cow ~ 857 kgs
Since a bull is referring to an adult or mature intact male, then, since the opposite of a male is female, the opposite of a bull would be a cow, which is an adult or mature female bovine that has had at least one or two calves.

The minimum weight for a bull in a regular bullfight is 1000 pounds but a mature bull can weigh 1600 pounds or more. I have not seen any record weight for a fighting bull.
Several options are available, you can choose to do one or all or none at all:Separate the bull from the nursing cow and leave the bull separated from the cow for several weeks. Make sure the fence is strong and sturdy enough that the bull can't go through, over, under or even stick his head through the fence to nurse from the cow.Sell the bull, since he's a milk thief and milk thieves--those cattle that are beyond weaning stage and still suckling--shouldn't even be in the herd.Put an Eeze-Wean nose ring on the bull to encourage the cow to kick him off every time he tries to suckle. Keep the ring on the bull for about a week or more. Hopefully by the time you remove the nose ring he'll not be suckling anymore. If he's still suckling, revert to Option #1. If even after then he gets back to bad habits, then I highly recommend you go for option #2.
Groundhogs usually stop nursing and are on their own at five or six weeks of age.
