That all depends on the breed[s] of either the sire and the dam.Basically, though, if the black bull is Angus, and the white cow is Charolais, then the calf that results will come out grey.

How do you explain to a grade 1 the life of a cow?
Cows are born as baby calves, much like your mommy had you or your little brother[s] and/or sister[s]. A girl calf is called a heifer calf, and a boy calf is called a bull calf. The heifer calf is raised on milk from its mother, and then she no longer needs her milk when she reaches 6 months old. We can also get milk from her mother too, if she lets us. Her momma also stops making milk because her calf doesn't need it any more, but may keep producing for a little while longer if we want to have more. But then eventually she has to stop because she will be going to have another sister or brother to that little heifer soon! When the heifer reaches 1 year and a 5 or 6 months old, she is old enough to have a baby calf of her own. The baby calf grows in her belly for 9 months, then is born much like she was. She has many babies in her life, until she is too old to have any more. She can reach around 19 years old or even older. Nineteen is pretty old for a cow!
Why do cows have many teats?
Only four teats on a cow shouldn't be considered as "many." The advantage of having four quarters--and thus four teats--on a cow is so that the calf doesn't suckle one milk gland completely dry. It also allows the calf to come back for seconds to the other quarter[s] that are still full of milk.
How much is cow skin?
Depends on what kind of cow you are looking to buy. And what do you mean by "cow"? Do you mean cow as in the general term of the domestic bovine including calves, heifers, steers, bulls and the female mature bovine that has had a calf (which is called a cow)? Or do you mean cows as in specifically female mature bovines that have had a calf? If the latter, then are you referring to open cows, bred cows, cows with calves (3-fers or 3-in-1's), or old broken down cull cows that are destined for the meat house? Without any specifities, I cannot give you a straightforward answer. Also, prices vary from one are of the country to the other, so it's best to go visit your local salebarn or cattle prices on the web that is posted for your area.
What are male and female cattle called?
There is no such thing as a female bullock. A bullock is another name for a steer, and even so there is no such thing as a female steer. However, a female unsexed bovine is called a spayed heifer.
How much weight can a cow gain in a day?
This all depends on the individual calf, the sex of that calf, the breed[s] of the calf, and the diet[s] that that calf is on. A grass diet will cause a calf to gain slower than if the calf is on a grain-grass mix diet, or some form of a high-energy diet. Even so, diets in that calf's life changes depending on whether and where he is sold to, whether [s]he's being used for beef or for breeding, etc. Bull calves gain more than steer calves; steer calves tend to have a higher ADG than heifer calves. Continental calves (Charolais, Simmental, Limousin, etc.) have a higher ADG than British Breed calves (Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, etc.). Continental-British cross calves tend to have an ADG that is kind of in between the average ADG of Continentals and British Breed calves. Calves on a grass/hay diet have a lower ADG than calves on a grain or grain-forage mix diet. Even more interesting is that ADG differs from calf to calf, no matter what sex or breed or diet they're on. But all in all, the average daily gain (ADG) of a beef calf is around 2 lbs per day. So, if a beef calf had a birth weight of 50 lbs, and gains weight at an ADG of 2 lb/d, then the amount of weight that that calf will gain in one year (ignoring all the variables that will change the rate of gain of that calf) is 2 lb/d x 365 days = 730 lbs.
