To determine if a longhorn cow is pregnant, observe her physical changes, such as an increase in belly size and weight gain. Additionally, look for behavioral changes, like increased appetite or a more gentle disposition. A veterinarian can confirm pregnancy through ultrasound or hormone testing. Regular monitoring of the cow's reproductive cycle can also help identify signs of pregnancy.
"Belle" or "Maverick" could be good names for a longhorn cow.
Yes.
Bos primigenius taurus. She would also be classified as a beef cow.
Yes, but you have a very likely chance that the cow will have trouble giving birth. This is because Charolais are notorious for siring large calves, and since Longhorns are known for birthing small birth-weight calves, you could land yourself in a heap of trouble. You could end up loosing the cow for all it's worth. If you want a Charolais-Longhorn mix in your herd, you're better off breeding a Longhorn bull with a Charolais cow. This is because the cow will have much less trouble giving birth than if you breed vice versa.
