Etymology

The term 'calving' originates from the Old Norse word 'kalfr', meaning calf, and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic '*kalwaz' which also signifies calf. The practice of calving has been part of agricultural societies for centuries as livestock was domesticated for food and labor. With advancements in farming practices, calving remains a significant process that is monitored for better herd management. It is tied closely to agricultural calendars and ecosystems, particularly in areas where cattle farming is prevalent.
