The cow was bred on December 26, 2008, since the average gestation period for all cows is 285 days long.
From when?? From when she was last bred, when she had her last calf, when she showed heat after having her calf, or when she was bred after having her last calf?? Please be more specific so the question can actually be answered.
Yes, both twins will be able to get bred and produce offspring.
So far the heaviest calf that was born was a ~250 lb bull calf born in 2010.
A heifer is a female bovine that has not yet had its first calf. A long bred heifer is a heifer well along in the gestation period and due to calve shortly.
Cows are mature female bovines that have already had a calf, so she can be bred at, well, any age, so long as she's already showing signs of estrus that can allow you a short time period to get her bred.
No.

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. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
Cows are female bovines that have already had at least one calf. Thus, a cow can be bred after they've been bred again a couple months after they had their last calf. After around 285 days or nine months, she will have another calf.
Yes. In a cow-calf operation, cows always have to get bred 2 months after they've calved, which means that they are still suckling a calf when they get bred and subsequently get pregnant.
When palpating a cow to check if she is pregnant, the vet or farmer will either call her "open" (not bred), or bred.
A female bovine bred for dairy production that has not had a calf.
yes
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.
Only if she has given birth to a calf before being bred again and continuously milked since then, then yes. But, if that cow has given birth to a calf, was dried up for some reason before being bred again, no.
