To get a purebred bovine (not necessarily a cow), you have to do a lot of breeding-up in order to have your cows and bulls producing the same type of offspring that their parents are. This takes years and years of work to do, and is much harder for one person to do than it does for several people to do.
How it's done is that you select the best quality bull that has all the traits that you want your new breed to have. Then you find a cow of another breed and breed that cow with that bull to get the calf you are wanting to use to start breeding up to produce offspring that are to be recognized as a separate breed and not just a crossbred. Then you can throw in one or two (or even more) breeds into the mix to get the type of breed you want. You have to keep doing this with the breeds you've selected and the offspring you've ended up with (making sure you cull out the undesirable or inferior offspring, cows and bulls) until you find you are getting more uniformity in the herd, and not just a herd of mutt-cattle. After getting others interested and helping with the breeding-up program and after another 10 or 20 or even 50 years of consecutive breeding-up and trait selection, naming the breed you've created and getting recognized by the national breeds council and what-not, you have your breed.

What can be the cost of a good breed cow?
That really depends if she's a purebred registered animal or just a commercial cow. It also depends if she's bred, bred with calf at side, open, or if you're even taking about specifically a cow at all, but the general term of a "cow." But I digress. A good purebred prized cow can fetch upwards of $60,000 or more at a dispersal sale. Commercial bred cows can go for as much as $1500 to $2000 each, depending what the prices are per pound.

Is a calf of a cow a contingent asset?
Yes. No matter if that cow (and the sire) is a purebred or not, it is hard to predict the future economic benefit of that calf, unless we really and truly know the exact breeding, health and genetic of the dam and sire that will produce the expected calf, which is almost impossible, even in a purebred operation where linebreeding and inbreeding is being practiced to purify a breed strain.
