Yes. She will be pacing around, getting down and getting up, and her vulva will be red and swollen-looking. She will also start to "bag up" or produce milk, her teats will start to lengthen and have that full look to them. The biggest indicator is when the water bag has emerged out of her vulva. After the water bag appears, then feet start to appear.
She can also be known as a heifer calf, heifer yearling (if she is a year old), or first time heifer (if she has given birth to her first calf).
Like this:"The farmer had a prized heifer in the cattle shed.""The heifer was bred by the herd bull yesterday.""The cow gave birth to a heifer calf!""Those blasted heifers got out again!!"

No, a female camel is not referred to as a heifer. The term "heifer" specifically applies to young female cattle that have not yet given birth. A female camel is simply called a "she-camel" or "cow" before giving birth, and once she has given birth, she is referred to as a "dam."

The young female of a cow is called a heifer. A heifer is a female bovine that has not yet given birth to a calf.
A heifer is young female bovine that has never given birth to a calf.A heifer may be considered a cow if:She successfully gives birth and raises her second calfShe reaches adult maturity at 4 years of ageSome people consider a heifer can become a cow after she gives birth to her first calf, but for many cattle producers she is merely considered a first-calf heifer, not a cow.
Typically, bulls do not intentionally harm calves after a heifer gives birth. However, there is a risk of injury if the bull is aggressive or if there is an improper introduction between the bull and the calf. It's essential to monitor their interactions closely and ensure the bull is calm and well-socialized to minimize any potential harm. Keeping the bull separated from the heifer and calf for a period after birth can also help ensure their safety.
You could call it a heifer, or a twin heifer if the sibling is also a heifer, or a freemartin if the heifer's sib is a bull calf.
