Springer cows are cows that are just starting to produce milk. Regular cows can be any cow, be they pregnant, lactating, or open (not pregnant).
Any cow is suitable for breeding, so long as she is not cystic nor too young to be bred nor injured or has an infection that could inhibit the proper development of a calf.
A cow will get pregnant once a year starting when she's around 15 to 24 months of age. So, if a cow lives up to 20 years of age, she may get pregnant 18 times during her life.
Cystic ovaries may cause the heifer of cow to not be able to become pregnant, it may also cause the female to have irregular oestrous cycles, or persistent oestrous.
A cow that has NEVER had a calf in her lifetime is called a Heifer. A cow that has not had a calf YET is a heavily pregnant or heavy-bred, or a short-bred or long-bred cow. A cow that has not had a calf during a calving season is called a barren cow, an open cow, a cystic cow, a cull cow, a meat/slaughter cow, a poor cow, a free-loader, etc.
