The embryo is formed when the sperm from a bull attaches itself to the egg or ovum of the cow. The embryo is formed not only from the cow being bred naturally, but also when she is artificially inseminated.
Yes....Short bred and long bred cows are two types. Other two types are dry bred cows and 3-in-1's.
A bred cow is just a shorter word for a cow that is pregnant, or one that has not returned to her normal cycling ~21 days after getting inseminated naturally or artificially, no matter if she has been confirmed pregnant by rectal palpation, ultrasound, blood tests or an ELIZA test. Bred cows are also called brood cows.

Short bred cows or heifers are females that are in early gestation or pregnancy, mostly in their first trimester.
No. When bred, cows or heifers will begin to develop an udder during the last stages of pregnancy.
Dairy cows are bred to produce vast quantities of milk. They are also bred to be quite docile around humans.
The majority (at least 60 to 70% ) of all cows in North America get bred between summer and fall. The rest of the cows get bred winter or spring, or any other time a bull or a producer wants to catch them to calve.
This is an impossible number to obtain, because cows get bred and calve out every day in the US. One day there may be 4 million cows that are bred, the next there may be only 200,000 that get bred. And each year that a statistics is taken of how many cows get bred in the US, each year it will be very different from the next.
A barren cow is another name for an open cow or heifer. Barren cows are cows that are not pregnant.
If bred, milk and baby calves.
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.
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.
