Yes, you certainly can. The sex of a bovine will not affect the meat quality when slaughtered.

Is a pregnant heifer a heifer or a cow?
It depends on you and what your plans are for the female and her calf and your experience with calving females. Often bred heifers are cheaper than bred cows, but they can be a pain in the rear when it comes down to calving, because they're predictably unpredictable. A bred cow will have more experience delivering and mothering up to a calf than a heifer will, and if you intend on keeping the calf for breeding (IF it's a heifer), then more often than not, if the cow's a good dam, the calf will be a good keeper. Not so for heifers: any calf that they birth should be raised for slaughter or sold, as they're not as good quality to keep for breeding purposes as her second, third, fourth, etc. calves will be. So it's all up to you.
