Cow calves are pre-mature cows. They can generally be found along with adult cows.

Cow calves are always light-browned coloured and much smaller, unlike their parents. Also, there are fewer calves in RuneScape than cows. The beef dropped by a cow calf is the same as a regular cow despite calves being much smaller.

• There used to be cow calves with the examine text "Young and tender; nearly ready for the slaughter.", but these were removed after the cow graphical update in 2019.
• Cow calves in Lumbridge used to be capable of dropping chargebows and staves of air, but no longer do after they were graphically updated in 2019.
