It's not "breast feeding". It's more or less called suckling or nursing. Calves need their mothers milk for about 3 months before they start to become more independent, eating forages that mom is eating, drinking water, but they still go to momma to nurse. In the dairy operations calves are weaned from milk formula when they are 3 months old. In the beef cattle industry and ranches, calves are officially weaned from their mommas when they are between 6 and 10 months old.
