It's a Torah prohibition to slaughter a calf and its mother on the same day.
It does not matter which animal was slaughtered first.
Even if the calf and its mother belong to 2 different people, it's still prohibited.
Even though it's prohibited, the meat of both animals is Kosher.
It does not matter how old the calf is.
One may slaughter a calf and its grandmother on the same day. If later on the same day one slaughters the mother/daughter, one transgresses 2 Torah prohibitions.
It's a debate if this prohibition applies to a calf and its father - even if one is 100% sure of the pedigree of the calf.
As in most of Jewish law, the day starts at sunset and ends the following day at dark.
There is no prohibition eating meat from a calf and its mother on the same day.
