"Hey Ma, Wait Up!"
Hey Mom, Wait for Me!!
The newborn calf weighs about 85 pounds and can stand within a few hours and follow behind its mother. At 2 1/2 - 3 years, it is rejected by the mother. When a cow gives birth to a new calf, she does not tolerate the older one. The calf will try to join another and move on to other areas. This population dispersion prevents inbreeding.
