Visit your local county extension agent for information. A local agricultural college or college that has an agricultural program involving dairy and/or beef cattle is also a good place to visit to get breeding info on cattle. The internet is also a good place to go with, but be sure to make sure you are visiting good sites and not ones where you can't find where they got their info from.
Here's some good sites I found for you:

http://www.agric.gov.ab.ca/app21/infopage?cat1=Livestock&cat2=Beef
http://www1.foragebeef.ca/$foragebeef/frgebeef.nsf/all/ccf1007
That's just a start, as there is plenty of info at your disposal if you know what to look for.
You can go to the local library and ask for books about breeding horses or the website "ASHA" has information on horse breed. On the website "equine" look for breeding horses and contact the owners to obtain more information.
One of them that I know of is freewebs.com/arabianhorselovers
One can find detailed information about dressage horses online from sites such as Equiworld, Dressage, Horsey Lover, Equestrian, Equine World and Dressage Dimensions.

Most certainly, especially during breeding season!
When they're too old to continue to give birth and suckle a calf. Some cows will keep on breeding when they're in their twenties; others will have to be culled by the time they are only 5 years old.
Breeding dairy cows produces calves which subsequently makes them produce more milk in the next production year. Calves are also raised as replacements (if they are heifers) for the other cows, as these calves have been selected, through the process of sire selection, for giving more milk per year when they mature into cows.
Breeding history, food amount, grooming, skills... Loads
Selective breeding, selecting for bulls and cows that have better milking ability, breeding those animals together and culling out the cows that have less than average or inferior milking ability. Bulls with less-than-ideal milking ability are not used on such cows.
