Why wean a calf?
Because it's less work to have a calf-turned adult cow, bull, steer or heifer, forage on its own than to give it milk every day. Besides, the cow that is close to calving can't afford to have milk for both her older offspring and her new calf, so the older calf has to be weaned.
After a cow calves should you milk her or not?
It depends. Is she a beef cow or dairy cow? Are you wanting to keep the cow with the calf or separating the calf from the cow? Usually with beef cows you don't bother with milking them unless you have to because the calf isn't up and suckling soon after birth and you want to encourage the calf to be up and suckling, or to get some milk from a cow or heifer that won't accept her calf right away to feed that calf with. With dairy cows, though, if you've separated the calf from the cow right away, it's ideal to milk that cow to collect the colostrum to feed that calf--and other calves--to the benefit of the calf's health. But, if you are wanting to keep the calf with the cow for a couple of days, then no, it's not necessary.
