It depends on the bull. Some may be able to breed up to 5 cows per day, others maybe only 1 or 2. It all depends on how receptive cows are and whether they're in standing heat at the time. A lot of breeding occurs at night, so you may see the bull breeding only a couple cows during the day.

How many times a day can a bull mate?

It all depends on how many cows a bull has to settle in one day and how much libido the bull has. It should be safe to say that a bull may mate with one or more cows at least 10 to 20 times a day. If a bull has a lot of cows to breed, there's no time for eating, but lots of time for courting.


How often can a bull breed?

As often as possible and as often as there are cows that are needing his services. That said, a bull can breed as many as 2 to 10 cows (or more) per day, depending on how many cows are in heat on that day.

How many cows are bred in the U.S.?

This is an impossible number to obtain, because cows get bred and calve out every day in the US. One day there may be 4 million cows that are bred, the next there may be only 200,000 that get bred. And each year that a statistics is taken of how many cows get bred in the US, each year it will be very different from the next.


When do you separate cattle?

Whenever you need to separate them. Honestly, it's your choice when you want to separate them. But note that in terms of cow-calf herds, you need to separate calves from cows when the calves are around 6 months of age. It may be a good idea to separate bull calves and steer calves and their mommas from the cows that have heifer calves at their side a month or two prior to weaning. Heifers and steers can be together, but you need to separate bull calves from heifers and keep them separate during the weaning process. This minimizes the risk of these young bulls breeding an early-maturing heifer and getting her bred by accident. Cows should be separated from bulls (NOT vice-versa, as it's more dangerous to separate bulls from the cows) after 60 to 80 days have passed since the bull was put in with the cows. Separate cull cows from the main cowherd the day you are going to sell them or, if you want to fatten up these cull cows, a few weeks prior to selling them. Before winter sets in, separate thin cows from the fat or normally-conditioned cows and put them with your bred heifer herd.

When to put bulls in pasture when you want spring calving?

Are you asking about when to put the bulls with the cows in order to get cows calving in the spring? If so, then the best time to put the bulls with the cows is in late summer. For instance, if you're wanting cows to calve early May, then you put the bulls in in mid July. Estimate 9 months plus 2 weeks (285 day) gestation period to perform your calculations.

Is a moose an antelope?

its kinda difficult to get what you mean with that.. do you mean to ask if they're monogamous? or if they continue mating each year until death? the answer to those questions are no, and yes respectively. male elk, known as a "bull", like most members of the deer family, participate each year in whats known as the "rut". they will compete with each other in various ways such as antler sparring, to win the right to mate with the female a "cow". they will do this with as many cows as possible, as many times as possible. some bulls will mate up to a dozen times with a single cow, as the estrus cycle (when she is able to become pregnant) is only a day or two. an elk will continue to do this until it is no longer able to, though most are killed by a predator before this happens it may be worth noting, that in a small herd of elk, you may see up to twenty cows per bull, because the bull is waiting for the time of year when he can mate with all of them. however when that time comes, many other bulls will begin following them as well.
