I just had a purebred American British White Park cow that gave birth to a healthy heifer calf March 18, 2025 and again 6 months later on September 19, 2025 with another healthy heifer calf ! Sired by the same Miniature Hereford bull ! I'm still in awe but it happened to me and I still can't believe it ! The cow stayed in great condition the whole time too !
It takes 12 months for a dolphin to give birth to another dolphin (calf).
On rare occasions, yes.
Most cows will give birth to a single calf. However, twin calves are not uncommon. I do not believe it is physically possible for a cow to have triplets, though.
give birth to a calf.
This is a really odd question, because, logically, a cow only gives birth once to a calf. In her lifetime she will give birth to over 10 calves.
about 4-5 babies Whales give birth to one calf at a time. Twins are very rare.
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
Yes. A polled beef cow that is more than likely heterozygous for the horned gene, and the sire that could have been horned or also heterozygous for horns is more than likely to produce a horned calf.
Bison cows primarily give birth to one calf a year.
Dolphins usually give birth to one calf per pregnancy. Although, occasionally they will give birth to multiple offspring.
There's a 50% chance that a cow will give birth to a bull calf. Same with heifers. Therefore the ratio is 1:1 that a cow will be mother to a bull (bull calf) or a future cow (heifer calf)
As a verb: It was very powerful to watch a giant piece calf from the glacier. As a noun: I strained my calf leaping to make that shot. Or: Our favorite cow gave birth to her calf this morning.
