What does open heifer mean?
An "open" heifer is one that is of breeding age, and able to be bred. A "fresh" heifer is one that has recently given birth. A pregnant heifer is, well, pregnant (that's easy). A springing heifer is one who is nearing the end of her pregnancy, within a few weeks of giving birth. "Dry" is not milking and pregnant. "Close" would indicate 240 days pregnant or more. Note that the term has regional variations on the subtleties of it's meaning; so it's best to use it in the general sense only. For example, in many places "open" just means "not pregnant" and doesn't imply that she's ready to be bred.

Is a pregnant heifer a heifer or a cow?
It depends on you and what your plans are for the female and her calf and your experience with calving females. Often bred heifers are cheaper than bred cows, but they can be a pain in the rear when it comes down to calving, because they're predictably unpredictable. A bred cow will have more experience delivering and mothering up to a calf than a heifer will, and if you intend on keeping the calf for breeding (IF it's a heifer), then more often than not, if the cow's a good dam, the calf will be a good keeper. Not so for heifers: any calf that they birth should be raised for slaughter or sold, as they're not as good quality to keep for breeding purposes as her second, third, fourth, etc. calves will be. So it's all up to you.
Can a barren heifer be breed?
Yes. "Barren" is just another word for open, or not pregnant.
