The meaning of Calf in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Calves were commonly made use of in sacrifices, and are therefore frequently mentioned in Scripture. The "fatted calf" was regarded as the choicest of animal food; it was frequently also offered as a special sacrifice (I Samuel 28:24; Amos 6:4; Luke 15:23). The words used in Jeremiah 34:18,19, "cut the calf in twain," allude to the custom of dividing a sacrifice into two parts, between which the parties ratifying a covenant passed (Genesis 15:9,10,17,18). The sacrifice of the lips, i.e., priase, is called "the calves of our lips" (Hosea 14:2, RSV, "as bullocks the offering of our lips." Compare Hebrews 13:15; Psalms 116:7; Jeremiah 33:11).
