For Almost an year Calf is not supposed to be separated from Cow. Usually it takes 8 to 10 months. Even after an year Calves are treated gently. People leave them in fields to eat on their own. Those who prepare their cows for competitions don't let their calves in fields, but they take care of them. They feed them with butter and with finest of vegetables and meat.

People also take great care of their COWS for EID UL AZHA, Muslims Holy day where they sacrifice their beloved dairy animals in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice of his child, In Eid 70% of the meat is divided between the poor and deserving. Government arrange Markets where people can sell their animals for EID. They decorate their animals with different lockets and chains. Every person who can afford an animal buys one.
