Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / cattle breeding
Spanish term or phrase: mamones
Not an insult, but cattle breeding again. For now, I'm calling them "weaners" but perhaps there's a more standard term.
"Los productores que lo usarían aplicarían el producto a los pasteros.Un veterinario de Segovia dice que lo usaría en todos lo animales y sobretodo en *mamones* porque manisfiestan más problemas de conducta."

English translation:unweaned / suckling calves
Explanation:
Calves CAN be aggressive, especially as they grow bigger, and some calves remain unweaned for a long time --eg, mountain cattle --so can be very macho with each other , and if they have horns, they are even more dangerous.

The word 'suckling' alone is not gerally used for calves, but for pigs. For calves you say 'unweaned calves' or 'suckling calves'.
