Does a young cow get with a calf first time with the bull?
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 is the calving interval for a cow?
Once every 11 to 12 months, accounting for the period of rest a cow gets after being bred (which will last from 2 to 3 months), and the gestation period for that cow after she has conceived.
What is a pregnant cow called?
A bred cow or a pregnant cow, or, in the dairy industry, just a cow. In sale barns, if she has a calf at side, she is also referred to as a 3-in-1 or a three-fer or suckling bred cow. If she's lactating, like in a beef or dairy herd, then she's called a nursing bred cow, lactating bred cow or bred lactating/milking dairy cow. If she's not nursing or lactating, she's called a dry bred cow non-lactating pregnant cow if you really want to get technical. In the dairy industry, a lactating heifer that has already had her first calf is referred to as a first-calf heifer; once she has a second calf she is generally referred to as a cow. In the beef industry, a heifer that is pregnant with her first calf is called a bred heifer.
What is another word for a pregnant cow?
Bred cow.
What is an unmated cattle called?
What part of "unmated" cattle are you referring to? Are you referring to females, or males or both? It's hard to tell what you're asking, but I'll do my best. An "unmated" young female, or a young female bovine that has not been bred yet is a heifer. A bull that has never bred a cow or heifer before is often referred to as a virgin bull. A cow that has calved but hasn't been bred yet is referred to as an open or barren cow.
What is cow called when it has not produced a calf?
A cow that has NEVER had a calf in her lifetime is called a Heifer. A cow that has not had a calf YET is a heavily pregnant or heavy-bred, or a short-bred or long-bred cow. A cow that has not had a calf during a calving season is called a barren cow, an open cow, a cystic cow, a cull cow, a meat/slaughter cow, a poor cow, a free-loader, etc.
What type of cow is the best for breeding?
Any cow is suitable for breeding, so long as she is not cystic nor too young to be bred nor injured or has an infection that could inhibit the proper development of a calf.
What do you call a cow 9 months pregnant?
A heavily pregnant cow, or a long-bred cow. Or, a cow that is expecting soon.
Can Guernsey Cow be bred in India?
Yes.
What is a long bred cow?
A cow that is close to calving, and is far along in her gestation period.
Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.
Can a cow be bred while nursing a calf?
Yes.
