Is this cross would make a good family cow?

Thank you. My boss do have a semen tank, but the farm is 13 miles from my place, and he said that it will be no good by the time he gets to my place to breed Bella. But he said that there are people that go around and AI farmer's herds for a fee of $50.00 to $75.00. Might have to go that route, but how to get the semen and put in their tanks, and find those people...

no reason your boss can't load his tank up and take it to your house to do the AI work... or no reason you cannot load your heifer up and take her to his house to get bred.

I hauled my tank 40 miles the other day to breed 30 heifers for $15. per head, plus semen costs, which I had been storing in my tank. Matter of fact, in April I made a trip which ended up being about 30 miles short of 1000 round trip-- to pick semen up when I was out bull looking.

When your heifer is full grown, i would expect her to be the same color she is now-- maybe slightly redder in the summertime, and blacker in the winter time. She will change colors though-- but her black ears, muzzle, and the line down her back-- will always remain black...

Well, I have asked my boss about that, and he seems not willing to help me, and we do not have a trailer to haul the cows around. Besides I am quitting that job for several reasons, so it would be pointless to ask him for help on anything.
I had called the local animal clinic to see if they know anyone who does AI on cows, and they gave me numbers for two guys, called both of them and left a message. Hope they call me back soon.

So, the base color of Maybelle is dark brown? But will have the black markings? That will be really pretty!

I'm not exactly sure what the base color of your cow is-- but brown is not a color. I would say her base color is black with the wildtype being dominate and showing through, even though the wildtype color is more of a brownish in most cases.
