It's because their vagina is irritated after having the bull's penis being thrusted up inside her.

How many cows do you need to keep a bull?
A producer should have at least 25 to 50 cows to want to consider owning a bull. A cow herd that is much smaller than that should be bred by a leased bull from a neighbor or breeder that is not too far away, or artificially inseminated.
Why do farmers use a champion bull to provide sperm?
Because that bull is the best sire, bar none, for improving the kind of cows that the bull is to be bred to. He is a top quality sire, both in temperament and in conformational quality, and one that should be used on as many cows as he can service in a breeding season.
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.
Will a bull mate with the same cow?
Yes and no. Occasionally a virgin bull with very little to no experience mating with a herd of cows will tag along with one cow and ignore the rest of the cowherd. Most of the time, in a breeding season, one bull will be able to settle as many cows as he can, often up to 50 if he's that good and if he doesn't have to travel far to service his girls. In a herd where the producer likes to keep some of the females born from his cows as replacements, another bull is needed to service those replacement heifers, and if the original bull is good enough to be kept, he will be used again the next breeding season on those same cows. This is actually mimicking what the bovine relatives like bison will do in the wild, though with every breeding season one bull may get a different harem each season, depending on his age and status as "Top Bull." However, in some cases where there is only one bull for a herd, he will have to mate with the same cows every year to keep producing offspring with his genetics. If a bull is showing signs of weakness, infertility, old age or poor conformation, he will either be culled from the herd by the producer, or, if he's in the wild competing with other bulls, he will be ousted from his harem[s] by younger more viable bulls that will take over and spread their genetics around. In cases where bulls are raised on a farm or ranch, often the producers let the bulls cull themselves out by how they are able to keep up with breeding the same cows every year. If a bull isn't meeting the standards of settling cows every year, and a fair number of cows come up open, he will be semen tested then shipped to be made into ground beef. When a bull is culled, a new, even better bull is needed to be of service to the producer's cows. In terms of cow herds where artificial insemination is necessary, sometimes one cow may be bred with the semen of the same bull she has been bred to the previous year. Often though, a herd of cows will not be bred to with the semen of the same bull every year, especially if the calves that came out of those AI'd cows weren't what the producer wanted or was hoping for. The beauty of AI allows a herd of cows to be bred to different bulls, sometimes one cow per bull, to get the best offspring as possible.
What is a male cow name?
Any name like Sirloin, T-Bone, Chester, Angus, Blackie, etc.
What is the past of breed?
The past of the word breed is bred. You can say something like "The bull has been bred in the past" or "We bred the bull to all of the cows to produce superior stock".
Who breeds cows?
This is usually the bull's job. When a bull is not present, it's up to the farmer to hire an AI tech to get his cows bred, if the farmer doesn't have the expertise him/herself to AI his/her cows.
Bull checking out bred cows in pasture next to him could one of the cows be coming into heat?
Yes, possibly.
Can cows come into season after conceiving?
Yes, especially if they are cystic. Another thing that could attribute to cows coming back into heat after being bred is the bull could be shooting blanks.
What can cows be cross bred too?
That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.
When are most cows bred?
The majority (at least 60 to 70% ) of all cows in North America get bred between summer and fall. The rest of the cows get bred winter or spring, or any other time a bull or a producer wants to catch them to calve.
What happens to form the embryo when cows are bred naturally?
The embryo is formed when the sperm from a bull attaches itself to the egg or ovum of the cow. The embryo is formed not only from the cow being bred naturally, but also when she is artificially inseminated.
What method of breeding is better for cattle AI or natural?
In terms of betterment for the animal's state, I would have to say natural breeding is. But this really depends on a number of things, and it can be a double-edged sword. Small cows or heifers being bred to a large bull may cause injury to the heifers' or cows' hips, backs and legs because they have to bear all that weight on their backs. A knowledgable cattleman will know that a small bull will service his/her smaller heifers/cows without injury. Secondly, if there is more than one bull in with a herd of cows, injuries may develop between these bulls. A bull that jealously shoves off another bull off a cow may result in that bull having a broken penis. Bulls that constantly fight and pay little attention to the cows that need the most attention will result in more open cows and injuries or a death to either bull. And, one bull may get more worn out than the other if he is constantly chasing that bull away and breeding the cows instead. Bulls tend to eat little when it is breeding season, as they have to pay more attention to all his girls wanting him than to food. This is why bulls have to be in top condition before they are let in to do their business. However the pros are equal to the cons. Bulls that are highly fertile and promiscuous will breed their girls successfully. A bull with good libido and good to excellent fertility will have a 95 to 100% chance of covering all his cows with very few to no open ones. Having a bull also saves on labour when having to breed cows, since the bulls do all the work for you. And for the cows, they do not have to be herded into a chute into an AI chute to get bred by an AI technician. The cows are out on pasture acting and doing what nature granted them to do.

Can you name the two types of bred cows?
Yes....Short bred and long bred cows are two types. Other two types are dry bred cows and 3-in-1's.
Where are cows bred?
Out in the pasture or corrals if the farmer or producer uses a bull, or in the AI box or a head gate in a barn if they are going to be artificially inseminated.
