Yes. That's all a bull is worth, really.
Typically a ranch's breeding period occurs only once a year. However, some ranches opt to have two breeding seasons a year, with a different herd of cows per breeding season, but using the same bulls for each breeding period. A typical cow should only be bred once to be settled, but if there are more than one bull in the herd at the time, she can be ridden more than once. Bulls, on the other hand, are the more sexually active of the cowherd, and will be very active breeding anywhere from 25 to 50 females in a breeding season.
Some farmers may refer to them as Brood Cows.
They can, like any other breed of dog. That is why it is important to purchase only from breeders who have their breeding dogs PennHip or OFA hip screenings.
Intact males and castrated males of the domestic bovine (or bulls and steers/bullocks, respectively) are domesticated just like their female counterparts (cows and heifers). Let me rephrase: ALL cattle of the species Bos taurus and Bos indicus, both male and female, are domesticated.
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.

Selective breeding is a way of maintaining animal existence. Selective breeding is when the strong survive. If only the weak survived then all animals would die out quickly

The first Angus cattle (only bulls) were first imported to the USA in 1873. But the first breeding herd was imported to Canada in 1876.
The only correct term for both Maori and Pakeha (non-Maori) people from New Zealand is 'New Zealanders'.
Vasectomising bulls make them into gomer bulls, which help the producer better detect which cows are in heat so that they, the cows, can be artificially inseminated.And for your information, vasectomies on bulls are carried out by the veterinarian, not the farmer, and only on a bull or two that is too old to suffer the stress of having his testicles removed and can be used as a heat (or estrus) detector.

Only if they're red bulls.
No. Why? Because it's just as ridiculous a question as asking whether farmers and ranchers should be taxed for the dust they make when they are doing agricultural activities, or fined for their cows producing too much gas. Putting more pressure on farmers and ranchers to spend more money is a recipe for disaster, because they aren't getting much money from farming and ranching in the first place. A farmer or rancher cannot stop runoff from happening because it will always happen according to the shape of the land. It's like asking them to spend more money to flatten the landscape so that they don't have runoff, which is completely ludicrous. Most farmers and ranchers are being careful about lessening runoff into bodies of water, and doing as much as they can to prevent such a thing. But it will only work if Mother Nature is willing to co-operate, which, in 9 times out of 10 she usually has other ideas. If you want to charge farmers and ranchers for run-off, fine. But remember, that's a really good way of making them go out of business and thus create less food for a growing population.
Only with most of their dogs and cats. They don't spay any of their female livestock, but will neuter or castrate the male livestock that are undesirable for breeding.

Bulls are herbivores and eat only plants.
