Is it a good idea to induce labor on a cow if her calf is too big?

No. The calf will obviously be too big to get his shoulders through the pelvic opening and through the birth canal without causing extensive damage to both himself an the cow, even if he was pulled out with a calf puller. You're much better off getting the vet out to do a Caesarean section on her to safely pull the calf out.

Is it a good idea to cross-breed cattle?
Yes, if you are not a purebred breeder. Crossbreeding increases heterosis of an animal, which means that the animal will display superior qualities to either of its parents. This is often a good thing in a commercial cow-calf operation where F1 females are being used as breeding stock, or cross-bred steers are raised and sold for beef. Dairy cows that are crossbred will often show better milk quality than either of their parents.
How does a newborn calf knows from where it has to take milk?
Satisfying the need to get sustenance would be considered a basic need for species survival, and thus to some extent it is innate. In the wild, an animal that didn't satisfy the need would perish. Within a half hour or so from birth, the newborn calf will stand up, and start butting its head, and sucking on anything that is nipple shaped (the head butt may help with milk flow). The calf initially won't know to go directly to the utter, but will have some idea of what to look for. The cow may also gently push the calf to the right position, and present her utter to the calf. During this time, cooperation of the cow is essentially necessary. After the first taste of milk, the calf rapidly becomes more coordinated, and learns exactly where to get it. While some cooperation of the cow is still helpful, some calves can learn to snitch a few bites from uncooperative mothers.

Can calves drink water after they drink milk?

Is training a calf for showing with treats a good idea?
Yes, certainly! Cows (and calves) are highly food-orientated, and can be trained by using tasty treats to get them to learn to lead or train them for show. However, there can be a limit to doing this. You shouldn't rely solely on treats to train a calf, they should also learn that the way you speak to them (like "good boy!" or "good girl!") or touch them (i.e., scratching them in their favorite spot) can/should also be taken as a reward.
Why do i get throbbing pain in my calf after crossing my legs (only sometimes)?
You get a throbbing pain in your leg sometimes when you cross your legs because you are cutting off the blood supply to your calf muscles. It only occurs occasionally because you must not be pressing on the supplying artery each time. It would seem that not the crossing your legs might be a good idea.
