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.
Can a barren heifer be breed?
Yes. "Barren" is just another word for open, or not pregnant.
What does open heifer mean?
An "open" heifer is one that is of breeding age, and able to be bred. A "fresh" heifer is one that has recently given birth. A pregnant heifer is, well, pregnant (that's easy). A springing heifer is one who is nearing the end of her pregnancy, within a few weeks of giving birth. "Dry" is not milking and pregnant. "Close" would indicate 240 days pregnant or more. Note that the term has regional variations on the subtleties of it's meaning; so it's best to use it in the general sense only. For example, in many places "open" just means "not pregnant" and doesn't imply that she's ready to be bred.

You could call it a heifer, or a twin heifer if the sibling is also a heifer, or a freemartin if the heifer's sib is a bull calf.
