Congratulations! I've pulled hundreds of them over the years and that feeling of satisfaction of seeing that live calf knowing you were responsible for it's survival never goes away.

Like others have said, put momma and baby together in a small pen and make sure he's able to stand and suck. I've had to have the cows head snubbed to a post and a hind leg snubbed to another post sometimes before so the calf can suck, but it usually doesn't take many times of this before the cow finally realizes the calf's ok.

PS- if you have many cows, you might wanna consider looking for another vet....
