Nope. And here's why:
Answer #1: A cow cannot produce offspring with another cow. Just like sexual intercourse between two women cannot nor will not produce a baby. So, in order to produce a calf, we need to put a BULL into the equation, and remove one of the cows. Which one, you ask? I say it's up to you. But remember this: Bulls contain semen which contain sperm which are able to travel to the embryo (after being ejaculated into the female) and fertilize it by natural fusion and create a baby calf. Now that we have sorted that out, lets tweak the question a bit:
Could a roan cow and a white bull (or a roan bull and a white cow) have calves which are red?Now from here, I can properly answer the question in the second part below.Answer #2: Using a Punnett square (you can draw one on a piece of paper as I cannot do one on here), you have the coat colour genes from the Roan Cow which are symbolized as RW for Red & White as Roans are animals that have red and white hair intermixed together. This is what is referred to as a Codominant Gene. Next, you have the genes from the White Bull which are symbolized as WW since the bull has white hair. Now draw your Punnett square and you will get the following chance of coat colouration in the resulting calves:
50% chance of white calves
50% chance of roan calves
0% chance of red calves.
So the answer to this question remains: No, you cannot possibly have red calves when a roan cow is bred to a white bull (or a roan bull is bred to a white cow).
What else can I help you with?
What would the offspring be if 2 roan cows were crossed?
There wouldn't be any offspring. A cow cannot mate with a cow to get a calf. You must mate a cow with a BULL to get a calf. So, if the question were reworded to: "What would the offspring be if a roan cow was crossed with a roan bull?" or vice versa, then we could answer it this way: Roan colouration in Shorthorns is a codominant trait, which means that one allele is not dominant nor recessive over another. So, the resulting offspring of a roan cross would be a mix of red calves, white calves, and roan calves. The Punnet Square reveals the probability of one of three coat colours occurring in the subsequent cross: Let R = red and W = white and RW = roan. RW bull x RW cow gives us: 1 RR 2 RW 1 WW In other words, there's a 25% chance that the resulting calf would be red, a 50% chance that the resulting calf would be roan, and a 25% chance that the calf could be white.
What is the ratio of red roan white offspring from the cross of a roan bull with a white cow?
Lets start with using letters to symbolize each allele of each parent: Roan Bull x White Cow --> Rr x rr (where the alleles R = red and r = white). The resulting ratio of offspring is the following: Rr = 50% rr = 50% RR = 0% Since there are too many little "r"'s and not enough big "R"'s, we can only get a cross of white and roan calves to a ratio of 1:1. Red calves do not exist in this cross.
What offspring are expected from mating a roan bull and a roan cow?
Mating a roan bull with a roan cow typically produces offspring that can also be roan, red, or white, depending on the genetics involved. Roan coloration is a result of the interaction between two alleles, where one is dominant (roan) and the other is recessive (red or white). The expected ratio of the offspring would be approximately 25% red, 50% roan, and 25% white, based on Mendelian genetics. However, specific outcomes can vary due to the genetic makeup of the parents.
Which cross will produce only horned roan offspring in cattle?
The cross that will produce only horned Roan offspring in cattle is the red bull with the white cow. However, these offspring would be able to create either red, white, or Roan.
What would be the offspring be if a roan cow and a white bull were bred together?
The offspring produced is dependent on chances. We can figure out the chances of the kind of offspring such a cross will get by using a Punnett square. Unfortunately the WYSIWYG format on this site will not allow for such a square, so we will give the ratio, the genotypic and phenotypic percentages that such a cross will receive. Let R = red, W = white and RW = roan. Roan cow (RW) x White bull (WW) Offspring: 2 RW : 2 WW Genotypic ratio: 50% roan and 50% white Phenotypic ratio: Same as above. Thus, the offspring of a roan cow crossed with a white bull (presumably of the same breed, being Shorthorn), may come out as white or roan. There is a 50% chance that either will occur.
What would the offspring be if 2 roan cows were crossed?
There wouldn't be any offspring. A cow cannot mate with a cow to get a calf. You must mate a cow with a BULL to get a calf. So, if the question were reworded to: "What would the offspring be if a roan cow was crossed with a roan bull?" or vice versa, then we could answer it this way: Roan colouration in Shorthorns is a codominant trait, which means that one allele is not dominant nor recessive over another.

The Punnet Square reveals the probability of one of three coat colours occurring in the subsequent cross: Let R = red and W = white and RW = roan. RW bull x RW cow gives us: 1 RR 2 RW 1 WW In other words, there's a 25% chance that the resulting calf would be red, a 50% chance that the resulting calf would be roan, and a 25% chance that the calf could be white.
Can a roan bull and a roan cow have a red and white cattle?
A roan bull and a roan cow can indeed breed to have red and white cattle. This is due to alleles mixing.
What is the ratio of red roan white offspring from the cross of a roan bull with a white cow?
Lets start with using letters to symbolize each allele of each parent: Roan Bull x White Cow --> Rr x rr (where the alleles R = red and r = white). The resulting ratio of offspring is the following: Rr = 50% rr = 50% RR = 0% Since there are too many little "r"'s and not enough big "R"'s, we can only get a cross of white and roan calves to a ratio of 1:1. Red calves do not exist in this cross.
Which cross will produce only horned roan offspring in cattle?
The cross that will produce only horned Roan offspring in cattle is the red bull with the white cow. However, these offspring would be able to create either red, white, or Roan.
What would be the offspring be if a roan cow and a white bull were bred together?
The offspring produced is dependent on chances. We can figure out the chances of the kind of offspring such a cross will get by using a Punnett square.

Let R = red, W = white and RW = roan. Roan cow (RW) x White bull (WW) Offspring: 2 RW : 2 WW Genotypic ratio: 50% roan and 50% white Phenotypic ratio: Same as above. Thus, the offspring of a roan cow crossed with a white bull (presumably of the same breed, being Shorthorn), may come out as white or roan. There is a 50% chance that either will occur.
Explain why it would be impossible to develop through breeding a stain of roan cattle or pink four-o'clocks?
Because there's always a chance of roan cows and roan bulls and pink four-o'clocks producing red and white calves as well as roan calves and white and red four-o'clocks as well as pink four-o'clocks, respectively. If you do a punnet square on either of these crosses, you will get the following: (Let's use the example of roan cows and bulls since this is in the Cattle Breeding category) RR = red WW= white RW = roan RW bull x RW cow makes: 1-RR 2-RW 1-WW This means you have a 25% chance of getting a red calf, a 25% chance of getting a white calf, and a 50% chance of getting a roan calf. No matter how many filial levels you make with these crosses, you will ALWAYS get this chance and this number, no matter what. This is what Incomplete Dominance is about: the Dominant allele is never dominant, and the recessive allele is never recessive.
Does the cow or bull determine twinning in calves?
The cow.
What is meat of young cow?
there are many animals that their young are called calves. there are camel calves, cow calves, and i think orca whale babies are called calves. not sure about the last one. =)
A cross of a red cow RR with a white bull WW produces all roan offspringer RRWW this type of inheritance is known as?
Codominance.
When does a cow start milking?
After it calves
What is a suckler cow?
A cow that has a calf at side and suckles that calf, no matter if it's her own or foster calves.
Why and how was the Speckle Park breed created?
The Speckle Park breed originated from a red roan heifer that threw calves of the same color pattern no matter what bull she was bred to. It is supposed that this cow (then owned by Mary Lindsay) is descended from the Teeswater Shorthorn and sired by a bull with the White Park colouration. The offspring of this cow caught the attention of Bill and Eillen Lamont, and subsequently were bought and bred to Angus bulls. The resulting calves varied in colour patterns from white with black points to leopard to black sided with speckled hips, white top and underline and roan faces. The Lamonts took interest in the colour patterns of these calves and decided to start the Speckle Park breed. So as to "why" Speckle Park was created, it is more about the colouration, but it was also because this breed excelled in terms of maternity and calving ability, excellent gains on grass, and a very quiet nature, among other things.
