Do cowboys rope cows or calves?

Both, actually.


Does a cow give birth to a human?

No. Cows only give birth to other cows (i.e., calves), not humans.


How many children can a cow have?

None. Cows don't have children; they have calves.


Will you be able to trace the father of the calves what are the possible phenotypes of the calves for each cows?

To trace the father of the calves, you would typically need genetic information from both the cows and the potential sires. The possible phenotypes of the calves depend on the genetic traits of the parents, including coat color, size, and other characteristics. By analyzing the genotypes of the cows and the known traits of the bulls, you can predict the phenotypes of the calves based on inheritance patterns. Understanding dominant and recessive traits will aid in determining the likely appearances of the offspring.


When do you separate cattle?

Whenever you need to separate them. Honestly, it's your choice when you want to separate them. But note that in terms of cow-calf herds, you need to separate calves from cows when the calves are around 6 months of age. It may be a good idea to separate bull calves and steer calves and their mommas from the cows that have heifer calves at their side a month or two prior to weaning. Heifers and steers can be together, but you need to separate bull calves from heifers and keep them separate during the weaning process. This minimizes the risk of these young bulls breeding an early-maturing heifer and getting her bred by accident. Cows should be separated from bulls (NOT vice-versa, as it's more dangerous to separate bulls from the cows) after 60 to 80 days have passed since the bull was put in with the cows. Separate cull cows from the main cowherd the day you are going to sell them or, if you want to fatten up these cull cows, a few weeks prior to selling them. Before winter sets in, separate thin cows from the fat or normally-conditioned cows and put them with your bred heifer herd.
