What is the perfect age to wean a calf?
The problem is there is none. You have to go by the calf itself and the body condition of the cow (as well as markets and your management practices) to see whether it is good enough to be weaned off milk or off its dam A dairy calf is weaned off the bottle at around 3 to 4 months of age (some may want to go a little longer), and a beef calf can be weaned from its mother anywhere from 6 to 10 months of age. Beef calves may need to be weaned at 3 to 4 months (called "early weaning" if drought conditions do not allow a cow to provide enough forage to make milk for her calf. So it's all up to you and what you consider what age is "perfect" to wean a calf.

How long does it take for a calf's rumen to start working?
The calf's rumen doesn't become fully functional until it is around 3 to 4 months of age. From birth until this time the rumen is underdeveloped and in the growing and developing stages. It is present when the calf is born, just not as fully functional as with a bovine that has been weaned and on forages alone or fully matured.

How long does it take to grow a calf and give milk?
A calf is no longer a calf after it is weaned (which is a range of 3-4 months, if bottle-fed, or 6 to 10 months, if on the cow), where it is able to eat forage on its own. A calf raised for beef will be kept until it is 18 to 24 months of age (whereby it is no longer a calf but a steer (male and castrated) or a heifer (female that is not used for breeding)). A heifer calf (female calf) raised as a replacement heifer will have be bred at 15 months then have her calf at 24 months, then reach full maturity at 3 to 4 years. A bull calf (male calf) raised as a replacement sire or herd sire reaches puberty at 12 years of age and reaches full adult maturity at 3 to 4 years of age. Now, as far as milk production is concerned, that depends on the type of cow you are referring to. The typical lactation length for beef cows is 6 to 10 months, depending on her body condition and when the producer would like to have the calves weaned. For dairy cows, on the other hand, always will be lactating for 10 months or more.
