What is the breeding span of a cow?

A cow would be liable to breed for until she's over 20 years of age. On average, a cow is expected to have a breeding span of 10 to 15 years. However, the actual span depends on the breed; Brahman and Brahman-type cows tend to live longer than British or Continental cattle, and they tend to breed for longer than dairy cows.


Can a jersey cow can handle a brahman bull mounting her?

This would depend upon the relative size of the Jersey and the Brahman in question. Jersey cows are among the smaller breeds of cattle, and Brahman bulls tend to be among the larger breeds of cattle. It may be a better idea to collect the Brahman bull and artificially inseminate the Jersey cow if you really want this cross to happen. To add to what was mentioned above in the first sentence, a Jersey cow may be able to handle a Brahman bull if the bull was a yearling, not a fully mature 2200+ lb bull. To compare, Jersey bulls mature at around 1600 to 1800 lbs, considerably smaller than the average mature weight of a Brahmer. Thus, as mentioned above, if you want a Jersey-Brahman cross bad enough, it's possibly best to AI the Jersey cow with Brahman semen. Note, though, the bull from where the semen was collected better have high calving ease/low birth weight EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) so that the Jersey will not have a difficult birth (dystocia) if she might if you paid little attention to such numbers.

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 a brahman bull mount a tiny jersey cow?

Not without injuring her. However, it depends on the size of the bull and cow in question. If the bull is just a yearling on a mature cow, yes you may. If the bull is a big mature guy, it wouldn't be recommended that he goes anywhere near her, no matter if she's a mature cow or a young heifer, by any producer with a lick of common sense. If she is a young heifer, no to either mature bull nor the yearling. Brahman bulls are not small by any means, and he will injure that cow if he's allowed to mate with her; if he doesn't injure her during the process of conception, the injuries will show up when she's close to calving: i.e., you will get a downer cow with spinal or hip problems. It's best if you get semen from him and artificially inseminate the cow instead, or if you can find a Brahman bull with low birth weight EPDs that you can get semen from, use that bull on her instead.
