What are the stages of a male bovine?

The stages of a male bovine, commonly referred to as a bull, include the calf stage (birth to about 6 months), weaner stage (6 months to about 1 year), yearling stage (1 to 2 years), and the mature bull stage (2 years and older). During the calf stage, they are dependent on their mother's milk, while in the weaner stage, they begin to transition to solid food. In the yearling stage, they continue to grow and develop, eventually reaching maturity as bulls, which can be used for breeding or beef production. Each stage is characterized by specific growth and developmental milestones.
