Scours which is diarrhea that causes dehydration and if not corrected with medication can cause a fast death. Scours can attract worms so again meds.
Pneumonia especially in the winter time.
If not raised properly, or malnourished, they will die or be infertile, not grow right.
In the calf, the esphageal groove works by contracting muscles in such a way so that the fluid (being milk) that the calf drinks by-passes the rumen and heads straight for the abomasum. The calf's head as to be tilted up and out in order for the groove to properly work. As the calf ages and the rumen reaches maturity, this groove disappears.
A cow can survive if her calf is dead in her womb. But if that calf is not expelled or pulled out soon, she could die as well.
It all depends on the breed, the genetics of that calf, the health of the calf, and the quality/type of feed you're feeding it. Thus it could take anywhere from three months to eight to get a calf to be at that target weight.
A cow may bellow continually when her calf is nearby as a way to call out to her calf or express concern or distress. It could be due to separation anxiety, discomfort, or a need for attention. The cow may be trying to communicate with her calf or seek reassurance from it.
A calf a full grown calf is a cow!
Cow chips, or more properly, feces.
If it's not a severe abnormality, it should correct itself as the calf gets older. But in some cases it can be so severe that the calf will have it for the rest of its life, which may affect it's ability to eat or graze. An overbite jaw in cattle can affect performance because they won't be able to eat or graze properly enough to survive or thrive on it without being supplemented with grain. Keep an eye on the calf, and consider not keeping the calf at all for any sort of breeding purposes.
no if they did then all running would cause calf injuries. if you stretch off properly then you should be okay :)
A newborn calf, a baby calf or just a calf.
It is still a calf if it has a mother or no mother. Maybe you could call it an abandoned calf.
The young of a cow is a calf, regardless of the breed but if you wanted to be more specific you could call it a Highland calf or you could be more precise and say it is a Highland heifer calf or Highland bull calf.
He was kicked in the calf during the soccer game. The cow gave birth to a calf last spring.

It's called a calf, but if you like you could call it a sea calf :D
it should be. or the calf could "get stuck". the vulva will swell prior to giving birth unless the calf comes really early.
To properly perform the calf towel stretch, sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Place a towel around the ball of your foot and gently pull the towel towards you, keeping your leg straight. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and repeat on the other leg. This stretch can help improve flexibility and reduce tightness in your calf muscles.
