I should hope so! If she's fertile and is bred at the right time and is bred at the right time, then yes.

What are the names given to a calf at different stages of life?
A calf is a calf from birth to weaning. That calf is no longer a calf after weaning, but a bull (if male and intact), a steer (if castrated) or a heifer (if a female). If the calf is being used for beef, at weaning age it's called a feeder calf. A feeder become stocker steer/heifer/bull when put out on pasture, usually when it reaches around 12 months of age. The calf is called a finisher when it goes into the feedlot to be put on a "hot" ration prior to slaughter, then a slaughter bull/heifer/steer when it is sold to be slaughtered for beef. This part of the equation is primarily reserved for steers. A heifer calf is a female calf from birth. She becomes a weaned heifer when weaned, a heifer after she's gone through the weaning process, then a bred heifer when she gets pregnant for the first time. After she has had her first calf, she is called a first-calf heifer. She can also be considered a cow at this time. She will remain a cow until she dies of natural causes or illness, or is slaughtered for beef. A bull calf is a male (intact) calf from birth. He is referred to as a weanling bull when weaned, then a young bull after being weaned and is not quite a year old. He is referred to a as a yearling bull when he reaches a year old and until he turns 2 years of age. He will then be referred to as a 2-year-old bull when he reaches two. He becomes a Mature bull when he reaches full maturity by the time he's 4 to 5 years old, and remains so until he dies of natural causes or is slaughtered for beef.
When is a good time to let the bull in with the mother cow and calf?
The best time to let the bull in with the cow and calf is around 60 days after the cow gave birth. That is the time she will be receptive and ready to conceive another calf. You can keep the bull in with her and her calf until she is about to calve again, which will be in a 9 months and a couple weeks.
What is a baby cow called if is a male baby cow and what is it called if it is a female baby cow?
A young male bull is called a bull calf but once they get casterated ( there balls cut out) they then are called steers. A young female cow is called a heifer.
Is it possible for a young heifer that is in calf to go to a bull to be served?
NO!! No, no, no, no, no!! A young heifer (and I'm assuming that's a heifer that is around 6 to 12 months of age) should NOT even be in calf in the first place, nor should she even be serviced by a bull when pregnant! A pregnant should be at least 15 months of age when she is bred, and 26 months when bred again to produce another calf. Some people feel that a heifer should be 24 months of age when she is bred to have her first calf! But NEVER a young heifer, never ever ever!!Get her aborted NOW. Inject her with some Estrumate or Lutylase IMMEDIATELY. Don't waste your time on trying to get a young girl like her to be producing a calf so young, you can afford to wait a few more months or longer!
Is heifer calf twinned to a bull calf always infertile?
95 percent of the time they are, they are called Freemartins
What is a generic young cow called?
The generic name for a young cow is a heifer. If she is a first-calver, then she would be called a first-calf heifer, usually, though some people refer a "first-calf heifer" to a heifer whose dam was a young cow that has calved for the first time.
What do you call a heifer after it calves?
A cow is a female bovine who has had a calf. She was a calf when she was born, became no longer a calf after she was weaned. Before being put to the bull for the first time she was a heifer and became a cow after she had her first calf.
How young can a Holstein bull calf breed thought banded but not now have young heifers with him not old enough to be breed?
A Holstein bull calf reaches puberty between 9 and 12 months of age, at which is the time that he starts showing interest in cows and heifers. If he's younger than that, then there's no need to worry. And, if the heifers have not reached puberty themselves (which occurs at around 12 months of age), then they will not get bred by this young Holstein bull. So no need to worry. However, you will have to pull him out before you suspect the heifers will start to show their first signs of estrus, if you intend to keep him in with the girls for a fair period of time. Oh and make sure he DOES get banded this time. It's best to band him before he reaches puberty. Most calves are banded at birth, or between 2 and 6 months of age.
What is low birth weight in a heifer bull?
Low birth weight is the genetics that a bull passes on to his offspring to be able to be small at birth so that the calf can easily fit through the pelvic opening of his dam. This is important as heifers have small pelvic openings and will have a harder time delivering a calf if the bull they are bred to is not a low birthweight or high calving-ease bull.
How long will it be before a calf is considered a cow?
Generally, calves go through three stages, the first being the "calf" stage. Then, when they are yearlings, they are either considered a "heifer" if they are female, "bull" if they are male, or a "steer" if they are a castrated male. Once a heifer has her own calf, then she is considered a cow.
How long it takes for a calf to be full grown?
A calf is in the womb for around 285 days (though the exact time frame depends on the breed of the calf and the cow), and is raised on the cow for 6 to 10 months until weaning. After weaning a calf is no longer referred to as a calf anymore. However, it is still undergoing growth until it reaches 3 to 4 years of age, which it becomes a cow (or heiferette if it still hasn't given birth to a calf yet) if it is female, or a bull if it's an intact male. Males that are castrated are still known as steers even after they reach maturity.
