It's a behavioral problem in calves, called stereotypical behavior, when they have no mothers to suckle from and only each other to keep them company. Calves that are bored will suckle on each other, on their ears, navels, testes in bull calves, noses, etc. It is by no means a "teething problem," because calves that have their mothers at their side and that are frequently mentally stimulated do not try to suckle on each other's ears or other body parts.
