There is only one in a head of cattle, each animal is one head. This word applies to the counting of critters, ducks, chickens, horses, sheep etc., even people. The word head is a variable here and does not stand for any particular number. the word cattle is plural so the grammar here is off. One you would not ask in this manner. Change the word to "herd and I would answer at least 3.

∙ 14y ago1 cow = 1 head, it's just an expression.
Count their heads as they come through a gate so a focus is on the head. Anyone counting cattle could easily become distracted by the mass of body and head and easily lose track. Simply use the index finger, pinpoint each head as it comes through the gate and "count the head of cattle". Counting the body is much harder and easy to lose track.
