Cows only produce one to two offspring at a time and often per year and give birth to an average of 10 to 15 calves per lifetime, which is not enough to make any accurate decisions based on genetic tests done on that one particular cow. In order to have a successful test cross, you need at least 10 offspring per parturition.

Some animals such as cows normally produce only one offspring from each mating If a cow showed a dominant phenotype why would a typical testcross be a difficult way to determine the genotype?

Because a cow only produces one offspring at a time, not several like mice, cats, dogs, flies or frogs do. In order to have a successful test cross, the species of animal used must have at least 10 to 20 offspring to study from.
