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.

Is there any mistake in the sentence cow have calf?
Plenty. "Cow have calf" is not a proper sentence, it's referred to as an "incomplete sentence." To form a proper sentence using these words give you something like this:"A cow will have a calf.""A cow is going to have a calf.""The cow will have a calf.""The cow is going to have a calf."And so on and so forth.
What is the word that means a young cow?
A Calve, or Calf
What is a black baldy cow?
A baldy cow is a cross-bred cow that has a white face and a black, red or yellow body. Crosses that make Baldies baldies include the following possible crosses: Angus x Hereford --> Black Baldy * Red Angus x Hereford ---> Red Baldy or red brockle face Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Black baldy Red Angus x Simmental --> "Super baldies" or Red baldy Simmental x Hereford --> Red Baldy Simmental x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy or Black brockle face Simmental x Hereford x Red Angus --> Red Baldy or red Brockle face Charolais x Hereford x Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford x Red Angus --> Yellow baldy Charolais x Hereford --> Yellow or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford --> black, red or tan baldy Limousin x Hereford x Angus --> Black baldy Limousin x Simmental --> Red baldy Charolais x Simmental --> Yellow baldy Limousin x Simmental x Angus --> Black baldy Charolais x Simmental x Angus --> Black or mousy baldy Charolais x Simmental x Red Angus --> Tan or Red baldy Limousin x Simmental x Red Angus --> Red baldy The possibilities of getting a baldy cow or calf are endless, as you can see. *However the most popular baldy is the Black Baldy, from crossing Hereford with Angus or vice versa.
When is a good time to let the bull in with the mother cow and calf?
The best time to let the bull in with the cow and calf is around 60 days after the cow gave birth. That is the time she will be receptive and ready to conceive another calf. You can keep the bull in with her and her calf until she is about to calve again, which will be in a 9 months and a couple weeks.
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!
How do you get a black calf with a white face?
You can either buy one--off a local producer who sells such calves or from your local salebarn--or you can get one yourself by breeding an Angus cow with a Hereford bull (or a Hereford cow with an Angus bull). Even breeding a modern-type Simmental cow with an Angus bull (or vice versa) will get you a black-baldy calf.
How many calvings can one cow have?
A cow will only calve once a year, and only give birth to one calf (twins 1:1000 births) at a time.
What would be the color and name of a calf from a Brangus bull and a Hereford cow?
The cross's name would be considered an F1 Brangus-Hereford cross. The colour would be black with a white face.
What is female limousin called?
When she is a baby she will be called a heifer calf, at a year old-Yearling heifer, once she has her first calf-First time heifer, then finally after the second offspring is born she is a cow.
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.
Calve drinks on two 2 teets but not other 2?
What breed is the cow? What size is the calf? How old is the calf? These are all factors that determine whether the calf is full enough drinking from two quarters, or whether the other two quarters may be infected with mastitis and the cow won't let the calf suckle the other two quarters; or the calf's just a newborn and/or is a small calf, and the cow is producing too much milk for such a small calf.
Why are some calves born different colors?
Genetics. The genes in the momma cow combine with the genes from the calf's sire to create a calf with either the same colouration of the cow or not. What breed the calf's sire matters to. For instance, a Hereford sire bred to an Angus cow results in a black-baldy calf. Or, an Angus cow that has a recessive gene for Red colour and is bred to either a Red Angus bull or a Black Angus bull also with a heterozygous gene for the red gene can most likely produce a red calf. And the examples go on.
