Not usually. If you do there's something wrong with her and you would have to concider getting rid of her.

What is the average weight of a longhorn heifer?
That all depends on the age of the heifer. The older the heifer, the heavier she'll be.
How much does a 1400 lb heifer cost?
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.
Why would one sterilize a heifer?
Heifers are not usually sterilized, they are usually kept for breeding purposes. However, in the case that the heifer is mean during heat cycles or has something wrong with her reproductive tracts then the farmer may decide to sterilize the heifer. Normally, they would just be sent for slaughter if this is the case.Another opinion:Heifers would be sterilized or spayed (by surgical removal of the ovaries) because they are not conformationally viable to be used in the breeding herd (i.e., too small in size, pelvic area too small, poor conformation, etc.), and because the stocker or backgrounder feeding these heifers before slaughter doesn't want to waste the money to buy drugs to keep the heifers from going into heat all the time. A hormonal drug called MGA is used for this, but can be costly to administer to feeder heifers all the time, and impossible to feed to heifers if they're out on pasture all the time. A spay program is then set up so that all the heifers that are not suitable for breeding and used for beef are spayed, minimizing costs on drugs and feed and allowing the manager/producer more time for other things other than having to worry about when the heifers have to be administered with MGA again.Spaying unwanted heifers also decreases the issues that may occur if a bull caught the scent of a heifer in heat and wrecked some fences in order to get at her. It also decreases the loss of production and increases weight gain because, when a heifer is in heat, she spends most of her time looking for a mate, pacing around and bawling and getting the other herd members riled up. This tends to, though temporarily, decrease weight gain and feed intake during that time the heifer is in heat.So it's all down to production costs and intention on increasing weight gain that would give a producer reason to spay stocker/feeder heifers.
What is the masculine form of heifer?
The masculine form of heifer is bull. All baby cows, prior to sexing are referred to as calves. A castrated bull is called a steer.
Does a match need heat all the time?
no
How many months does a heifer carry a calf?
That all depends on when they have been bred. A heifer bred at 15 months of age would calve when she's 24 months old. If she's bred later than that, she will always calve 9 months later.

Can a cow go into estrus even though she can't get bred?
Absolutely! Cystic cows can either never be in heat or be in heat all the time. A heifer that has an abnormal reproductive is still able to have regular, normal estrus cycles even if she cannot get bred. If she's in the wrong condition, like too fat or too thin for her to be able to settle when bred by a bull, she will still go into estrus regularly.
Remedies for cats in heat?
Have them spayed. (fixed) The next time they are not in heat, get them spayed.Cats normally meowing all the time when they are in heat.
Can heat stays in one place all the time?
no
Do stars radiate heat energy?
Like the Sun, all the stars are radiating heat all the time. They lose the heat (or thermal energy) through radiation.
Are first time calvers quiet or aggressive after calving?
This all depends on the individual first-calf heifer. Some may be aggressive after calving, others will be quiet and not cause you any trouble.
