No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull.

Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.

What does a cow drink?
In order for a cow to produce milk (or any mother be it a cow, sheep, tiger etc) she needs to be lactating.

Good nutrition and health are major requirements to good milk production.
