On many operations, a calving shed or barn with a head-catch facility to use for cows or heifers that need help calving, handling facility with a loading chute, and a calf chute attached to that handling facility are commony found in cow-calf operations. Calf chutes are not needed if the ranch uses horses and ropes to brand, vaccinate, tag and castrate their calves.
Separate pens for cows calving, cows with bull calves, cows with heifer calves, bulls, culls, backgrounding, etc. are also found on a cow-calf operation.
If the cow-calf operations calve in the summer, a calving barn isn't really necessary.

How do you get a beef cow to accept a calf that isn't hers?
The best thing you can do is to skin the dead calf of that beef cow's, and drape it over the orphan calf's body so that you trick the cow into thinking that that calf is hers. But this will only work if you have that cow's dead calf on hand and not if that cow doesn't have a calf or if you're wanting to put another calf on that cow. Other tricks include smearing cod liver oil or perfume or some other strong-smelling solution that's not poisonous to the cow nor calf over the cow's nose and all over the back and head of the calf, putting a dog in with the cow and the calf, etc.
