Natural breeding is the most common, but artificial insemination is not uncommon either.
That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.
Grass and grain, just like all other cows.
Yes, though a bit a more lighter and yellower than the actual colour Orange. These cows are primarily of the breed Charolais. Cows of this colour of this breed are typically called "red-factor Charolais."
Yes....Short bred and long bred cows are two types. Other two types are dry bred cows and 3-in-1's.
A Charolais Breeder is a farmer that produces and breeds Charolais, these cows are normally registered purebred animals. The breeder is given a unique, one of a kind number for tattooing and registration purposes of the animal.
Those cows that are large and white include such breeds as Chianina, Marchigiana, and Charolais.
Charolais have the same immunity to diseases as many other beef cattle have. It all depends on what their immune systems are exposed to and what they are not.

Some dog and cat breeds are specially bred to be hypoallergenic so that people with allergies can own pets. Also, dogs are bred to enhance certain behaviors. Horses are also bred for strength and other qualities, depending on what they will be used for (racing, farming, etc.) Dairy cows are bred for increased milk production. Turkeys are bred to be meaty. Although wild turkeys can fly, domesticated turkeys are so ehavy with meat that they cannot!
A popular choice for breeding with Angus cows is a Charolais bull. Charolais bulls are known for producing calves with good growth rates and carcass quality, which complements the Angus breed well. Other suitable breeds for crossbreeding with Angus cows include Hereford and Simmental.
Short bred cows or heifers are females that are in early gestation or pregnancy, mostly in their first trimester.
