She could if she has the genetics of really good fertility. But she shouldn't, that's the problem. A 500 lb heifer, even if she's a Jersey heifer, is too young to be bred, and too light. If she's a Jersey, then she should be weighing around 700 lbs and be at least 14 months of age before she can be bred. Beef heifers that weigh 500 lbs are WAY too young to be bred. They shouldn't be exposed to a bull until they're at least 14 to 16 months of age, or are 60% of the weight of the main cow herd.

Give her an injection of Estrumate or Lute to abort her NOW. It's far less expensive to give her a shot to abort her than it is to have a vet do a C-section on her and you having to spend the money to bottle-raise her calf.

This all depends on whether that heifer is a registered purebred or a commercial heifer, whether her hide is black or not, if she has horns or not, and where she is being sold from. Therefore I cannot give you an answer.
