Crossbred cattle. F1's are those that have parents each comprising of a different breed. For instance, a Hereford bull mated to an Angus cow will give an F1 black baldy calf.

Can you get a pure black calf from a baldy hereford and a black angus?
No. A Hereford already has a white face, so no use calling Herefords "baldy herefords." The genes for a white face is dominant to that of a coloured face like black, red, tan, etc. So, if you bred an Angus bull with a Hereford cow you will ultimately and always get a calf that is black with a white face. The only time you will get a small (16%) chance of getting a purely black calf is if you breed an F1 black baldy cow with an F1 black baldy bull. Another 16% will give you an all black calf that is horned (from the genes of the calf's grandsire or granddam, which ever was a Hereford (non-polled)). However, if you breed an Angus bull to an F1 black baldy cow, you will have a 50% chance of getting a pure-black calf.

How do you get a beef cow to accept a calf that isn't hers?
The best thing you can do is to skin the dead calf of that beef cow's, and drape it over the orphan calf's body so that you trick the cow into thinking that that calf is hers. But this will only work if you have that cow's dead calf on hand and not if that cow doesn't have a calf or if you're wanting to put another calf on that cow. Other tricks include smearing cod liver oil or perfume or some other strong-smelling solution that's not poisonous to the cow nor calf over the cow's nose and all over the back and head of the calf, putting a dog in with the cow and the calf, etc.

A young cow, in the sense of it being female, is called a heifer. Heifers remain so until they have had a calf. However in the more general sense, a young "cow" is called a calf.
