It is very rare for a cow to cycle while pregnant. When the cow is in calf (pregnant) the corpus luteum (a group of follicular cells which secretes progesterone and maintains pregnancy) will continue to function, persisting in its progesterone production and preventing further estrous cycles. When a cow or heifer is breed, and comes into cycle the following month, this will mean she did not catch (eggs were not fertilized, therefore, no corpus luteum is present).

The breeding male of a cow is called a bull.
The opposite of an "open cow" is a "closed cow." In this context, an "open cow" typically refers to a cow that is ready for breeding, while a "closed cow" indicates one that is not currently open for breeding. The terms are often used in the context of livestock management and breeding practices.

The dairy industry and the beef cow-calf industry.
The best type of cow for breeding depends on the specific breeding goals an individual or farm has. Some popular beef cattle breeds for breeding include Angus, Hereford, and Simmental, while some popular dairy cattle breeds include Holstein, Jersey, and Guernsey. It is important to consider factors such as genetics, temperament, and desired traits when selecting a breed for breeding purposes.
