Yes. Though you won't get the heterosis like if you crossed those Beefmasters over Limousin or Charolais, you're still going to end up getting good calves, provided you make the right choice with your bull.

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.


What would be a good cross with a beefmaster red angus cow?

Are you referring to a Beefmaster-Red Angus cross cow or either Beefmaster or Red Angus? If the former, a continental breed such as Limousin, Maine Anjou, Simmental or Charolais would be a good breed to put on this cross. If the latter, a good bull to put on a Beefmaster would likely be, once again, a Continental breed, or a distant British breed like Hereford. For Red Angus, you can't beat a Hereford over an RA to get a red-baldy.


How does a white cow and black bull make a spotted cow?

They don't. That has never happened before, and likely never will. When you cross a White Shorthorn cow with a Black Angus bull you will get a grey calf (this is how the Murray Grey breed came about, by the way). The same thing occurs if you put a Black Angus bull on a Charolais cow.


What bull can you breed safely to your holstein mix heifers?

The thing I'd like to know is what the "mix" part is in the "Holstein mix" equation. Is it Jersey, Guernsey, Hereford, Milking Shorthorn, Brown Swiss, Angus, Shorthorn, etc? And what type of bull are you looking for, a beef bull or dairy? That's the most important part you need to analyze before you make your bull purchasing decisions. For any heifers, you will need to look for a calving-ease bull. For most starting heifers, Jersey or Angus is probably the best for starters.

What would be the result of a cross between a red male and a white female?

I assume you are referring to the Shorthorn breed. A red Shorthorn bull bred to a white Shorthorn cow will produce a roan calf. The chance of this happening is 100% in this breed.


What can cows be cross bred too?

That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.

Simmental bull crossed with hereford bull is what?

Nothing, it is impossible to breed two bulls together. However, when either of these is a female the offspring would just be called a cross bred animal. A similar circumstance is when you cross a Hereford with a Charolais.
