This is a crucial step in their development, allowing them to:
* Start nursing: Standing allows them to reach their mother's udder for milk.
* Bond with their mother: Standing and moving allows them to stay close to their mother and build a strong bond.
* Develop muscles: Standing and walking strengthens their muscles and helps them gain coordination.
However, some calves might take a little longer to stand, especially if they are born weak or if the mother is not assisting them.
