What is a pregnant cow called?
A bred cow or a pregnant cow, or, in the dairy industry, just a cow. In sale barns, if she has a calf at side, she is also referred to as a 3-in-1 or a three-fer or suckling bred cow. If she's lactating, like in a beef or dairy herd, then she's called a nursing bred cow, lactating bred cow or bred lactating/milking dairy cow. If she's not nursing or lactating, she's called a dry bred cow non-lactating pregnant cow if you really want to get technical. In the dairy industry, a lactating heifer that has already had her first calf is referred to as a first-calf heifer; once she has a second calf she is generally referred to as a cow. In the beef industry, a heifer that is pregnant with her first calf is called a bred heifer.
What is cow called when it has not produced a calf?
A cow that has NEVER had a calf in her lifetime is called a Heifer. A cow that has not had a calf YET is a heavily pregnant or heavy-bred, or a short-bred or long-bred cow.

What is an unmated cattle called?
What part of "unmated" cattle are you referring to? Are you referring to females, or males or both? It's hard to tell what you're asking, but I'll do my best.

A cow that has calved but hasn't been bred yet is referred to as an open or barren cow.

Can Guernsey Cow be bred in India?
Yes.
What is a long bred cow?
A cow that is close to calving, and is far along in her gestation period.
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.
Can a cow be bred while nursing a calf?
Yes.
If a cow tries sucking from a cow that is not bred will the cow not bred start producing milk?
It's possible, but if you catch that milk-thieving cow right away and separate her from the herd to wean her from doing that (or just outright cull her) the open cow shouldn't produce, or rather continue producing milk.
