Can you cross watusi bull and longhorn cow?
Yes.
Why doesn't anybody cross a brahman cow with a longhorn?
They do, it's just not a common cross like Hereford to Angus or Simmental to Angus. Don't complain about it, just get a TL over that brimmer cow of yours and see what kind of calf you get and what it will grow up to be.
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.
What is a good name for a longhorn cow?
"Belle" or "Maverick" could be good names for a longhorn cow.
What is the best cross shorthorn bull on hereford cow or hereford bull on a shorthorn cow?
Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.

What is the cross between a Charolais and a Brahman beef cow?
Charbray (an actual breed), or a Char-Brahman F1 crossbred bovine.
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.

Can a longhorn cow be bred with a charolais bull?
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.
What is the mature weight of a Brahman Bull?
Ayrshires are medium-framed cattle, which mean they will typically exceed the 1200 pound mark. The average mature weight of an Ayrshire cow is around 1400 lbs, and the average mature weight of an Ayrshire bull would be around 2000 lbs.
