It depends on what you're currently feeding your cow, and whether that cow is indeed a cow (as in a mature female bovine), or the colloquial version of a "cow," where you may be instead referring to a steer, heifer or calf.
The dominating reason that your cow (or "cow") is not eating corn is because she/he may be suffering from acidosis from you feeding too much corn too quickly or from introducing it too quickly where she/he overate and is now suffering the consequences.
However, it could also be that your cow is not familiar with the taste or texture of the grain and is not eating it because they don't know what it is. You could solve this problem by mixing the corn into the hay ration, or pouring a little molasses over to allow your bovine to try to like it.
If none of those work, you can try to find a different grain source or energy source that may be more palatable--or more familiar--to your animal.

Will hereford cow calve a limousin calf?
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
