There's a 5 to 10% chance that you can. The rest of the time she'll be a freemartin and too sterile to be deemed usable to breed. She'd be better off being raised for the freezer than for a momma. You should get the heifer tested for freemartinism before you attempt to get her bred. Your large animal veterinarian will either do it for you or give you tips on how it can be done.

Can a heifer be a bull?
No. Heifers are female, bulls are male. Heifers cannot change their sex like some other creatures can. However, heifers that were born with a twin brother and shared the same placenta with her twin brother can develop bull-like characteristics. These are called Freemartins or Hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites are 100% sterile, and a hermaphrodite heifer is a heifer that has both male and female sexual characteristics but can not fully become a bull like REAL bulls are.
