What causes the variation between the breeds of hereford cow and friesian cow?
The genes.
What colour is a Friesian bull?
A Friesian bull has the very same colouration as a Friesian cow: black and white.
Will hereford cow calve a limousin calf?
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.
What colour is a friesian cow?
Black and white.
What is the best cross shorthorn bull on hereford cow or hereford bull on a shorthorn cow?
Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.

Is a cow the same colour as a raven?
An Angus or Galloway cow would be, yes, but not a Jersey, Simmental or Hereford cow.
Are there different types of friesians?
Yes there is, as a matter of fact. The most commonly known Friesian is the Holstien-Friesian diary cow. There are several different types: British, Dutch, German, Danish, Italian, Argentinian, Polish and Swedish. There also exists the American Beef Friesian. The second Friesian is the Friesian horse, and there are also Friesian sheep.
Which 2 breeds to cross to find hereford?
Hereford is a pure breed, and the origin of the colour pattern of the Hereford breed is pretty much unknown. So you can't find two breeds to cross to find Hereford, unless you can find a Hereford cow and a Hereford bull and "find" a Hereford calf!
