From a marketing text explaining the types of animal found on a hotel farm: "30 Milchkühe, 15 ****Jungviecher****, 10 Kälber, 15 schottische Hochlandrinder, Schafe, Ziegen und Hühner". Am thinking this is a typo for "Jungvieher" but if so, what is the difference between "young cattle" and "calves", which is the next entry on the list?

or heifers and young bulls
i think in this context the use of stock or cattle does not fit stylistically

Abstract
Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to discriminate different types of ground beef samples. Fifty-three and sixty-seven samples of longissimus thoracis muscle corresponding to adult castrated steers (over 4 years old) and young cattle (under 14 months old), respectively, were homogenized and scanned over the NIR range (1100–2500 nm). The results showed that NIRS could successfully discriminate 100% of ground beef samples depending on the sort of animal, probably as a consequence of differences in the intramuscular fat and water contents. Thus, NIRS is a fast, inexpensive, and non-destructive method that can be used to discriminate these beef products.

if you want to avoid the young cattle/calves issue
Vieh is probably better, but Viech is also a word for animal/creature/beast...
