The origin of the proverb "many a good cow has a bad calf" is believed to come from rural life and farming traditions, where it was common to observe that even the best animals can produce less desirable offspring. The saying suggests that good or skilled people do not always produce equally good or skilled children or products, highlighting the unpredictability of inheritance and individual development.
