Is it safe to breed a Bull back with his daughter?
Not if you have no idea of the genetic and hereditary history of both going back several generations. You're better off, just to be safe, to breed the heifer to an unrelated bull.
Can a jersey heifer be bred a 8 months of age?
Nope, this is much too young for her to be bred. You should wait until she's 15 months old in order to breed her. You can breed her a couple months earlier, but ideally, for her reproductive health and ability to be able to breed back and produce another calf, it's best if she's bred at 15 months of age.
How can you tell a heifer from a cow?
Heifers are young female bovines at or past weaning age that have never had a calf but may be pregnant with their first calf. Cows are mature female bovines that have had at least two calves.A heifer is a female bovine who has never given birth to a calf while a cow has and is older.
How long after birth is cow ready to breed?
A cow is a female bovine that has already had a couple calves. Therefore, I believe you are asking about how long a cow is ready to breed after giving birth, which would be, on average, 45 to 60 days, depending on her condition and nutrition. Thinner cows tend to take longer to get back into cycling and may not be able to breed until 60 to 90 days after parturition. If you are referring to the colloquial version of a cow and this "cow" is in fact a calf, you will have to wait until at least a year (preferably at least 15 months) until this calf, turned heifer, is ready to breed.
How do you help a heifer that is in labor but is having trouble?
Get her in the head gate, glove up and reach inside to see if the calf's got something that is not in the normal position, or to feel if it's a really big calf that the heifer can't push through. If it's the latter, get the vet out ASAP. If it's anything of the former, you may be able to push the calf back in, put things right, and get the chains or the calf puller out and help pull the calf out. But it depends of what type of trouble as many things can go wong. Usually with a heifer the calf can be too big, then you gotta pull it out of her usually with a contraption called a calf puller. I would not attempt this without help from someone experienced, as you could kill one or both animals. A vet or a neighbor who's a veteran cattleman is a good source to get help from. It's more important to breed her to bull with history of siring small calves in the first place.
What are the registration facts about a heifer cow?
Well either your registering a heifer or a cow, not a heifer cow or anything like that. She must be purebred, or have parents that can be traced back over the lineage, depending on what breed she is. You must have the papers of her sire and her dam (and they must be registered within the breed too) before you can register her. You must also be a member of that breed association before you can register any cattle.

How can i make a charbray cow from a charolais cow?
That's real easy. Breed the Charolais cow to a Brahman bull and you'll get your F1 Charbray calf. Mind you, it's a 50-50 chance you'll get a heifer (which will "turn into" a cow once she has a calf) over a bull, so you may want to breed the dam until you get a heifer from her, if all she throws is bull calves. Either that or get more than one Charolais cow (preferably over 50) and breed them to the Brahman bull to get your Charbray cattle. Also, Charbrays are actually 5/8 Charolais and 3/8 Brahman, so you might have to breed the F1 offspring back to a Charolais bull to get a true Charbray cow...or bull.
Can i put my male hamster back in the cage with the female after she had babies the babies are no longer here?
Yes, but be aware that they will breed again and the female will become pregnant.
When was the Friesian horse first discovered?
The breed's origins are not exact but they date back at least to the middle ages.
When did the breed of limousin cattle start?
They originated in South France, the first herd book dates back to 1886.
What do you call a heifer that cant reproduce. The heifer is not a twin.?
I would call her hamburger. Either that or a VERY expensive pasture ornament.This heifer may also be referred to as a cull because of this. It's best to get rid of her (turning her into the great food source as mentioned above), because she WILL turn into an expensive lawn ornament, or an animal that will take your money from you and give you nothing back in return!
Can a heifer be pregnant coming in heat and starting to lactate?
No. A pregnant heifer will rarely come into heat, and her heat period will only be once or twice during her pregnancy, then stop until after she has her calf. But she will not go into heat and start to lactate at the same time she's bred. She can only either be pregnant and have a small chance of coming into heat, or be pregnant and start to lactate (which only happens when she is nearing the end of her pregnancy).
What risks are there to a young heifer if you abort a calf?
There shouldn't be too much risk involved, especially if you abort early enough so that the heifer doesn't have trouble pushing it out. Most cases she should be able to come back into heat and be rebred. Have a vet check her out first though (if you haven't already) in case she has an abnormal pelvic opening or if the calf's too big to have her abort out on her own.
