Definitely not. Heifers are young female bovines, never male. The opposite of a heifer would be a young bull, which is a young male bovine.

How do you identify a male huffer in angus cow?

There is no such thing as a "male huffer", not even in an Angus cow or anywhere else. Unless you were trying to spell out "heifer", the question has no merit thus cannot be answered. However, even if you were asking how to identify a "male heifer" in angus cattle (which I assume you were more likely trying to ask), there still is no such thing as a male heifer. A heifer is only female, never either male or female. Heifers are immature female bovines, or female bovines that have never given birth to a calf. Heifers are often smaller and much younger-looking than an adult Angus cow. They do not have an udder like a cow does.
