Yes. Calves get what's called colostrum from their mothers if allowed to drink from her right after birth.

Factory-raised calves are often separated from their mothers and don't receive the colostrum and subsequently don't develop as good immunization and can get sick from various ailments.

I knew about that right after they're born, but I wonder if they're left to nurse their mothers for a month last say and the calf starts getting sick a week after being born, will the cow start producing colostrum again?

That's not true. Most, if not all, dairy farms will milk the colostrum from the cow and feed it to the calf. A calf without colostrum is a death sentence. Everyone in farming knows that. Not only that, they have colostrum replacer mix made from, ACTUAL COLOSTRUM, on the off chance that they can't get the mother to provide the colostrum. They even list the immunities that the cow had when she was milked for the colostrum.

Dairies don't remove the calves to prevent them from drinking colostrum, the calves will get it later, farmers remove dairy calves from dairy cows because dairy udders are fragile and a calf wrecking its mother's udder means no more milk. When milking time comes they will bring out a separate individual milker for that cow, milk the colostrum, and proceed to feed it to the calf during the feeding schedule that farm goes by.

The article you referenced is from a beef producers site which is an entirely different setup. Beef producers will leave the calf on the mother for around 6-8 months depending on the operation. Udders on beef cattle are immensely different than udders on dairy cattle. Beef cattle in general are much healthier body wise due to many factors.

Anyone who has had a kid should know this. Let us know when your non virgin girlfriend gets pregnant by her bull.

I wonder if sex can cause the baby to develop a stronger immune system due to the dad being mighty frisky.

I'm going to assume the best from this comment. Post birth I don't know that there is any effect, but when the mother is pregnant dad jizzing in the mother has some benefits, long story short it tells the growing baby that the world is safe and secure... If mama is a whore and men who aren't the baby's daddy are cumming in her, it sends the opposite signals.

What's the bet a strong pair-bond also needs to be present for this mechanism to be utilized fully.

Feel sorry for all those roastie babies where momma is consumed more with her lack of love for her child "post partum depression" and lack of instagram likes for the latest fake "happy-mommy" photoshoot. Maybe ultimately smothering SIDS is a blessing in disguise. A less sorry fate than being a sociopath's lifestyle prop or (even worse!) lifestyle cramp. At least the suffering is over quickly.

Holy shit. You think you're a cynical soul. That you've seen it all. The darkness and depths of these people. Then they surprise you all over again with new levels of creepiness and using their children as stage props for their mental and spiritual sicknesses.

Yeah, it makes no sense.

Formula costs so much money. It is inconvenient to prepare. Buying and cleaning all the bottles is as hassle. If you do not prepare it just right it can kill an infant. It's usually soy packed and otherwise unhealthy.

Breastfeeding hurts, tore my nips up. Every single child. I wish it wasn't this way. I pump and use raw goat milk. Formula is poison.
