What percent bovines are female?

It is not sure whether you are asking about national or world cattle population, or a cow herd in general. For the former, that is most impossible to answer. For the latter, a typical cow herd should have at least a 90 to 100% female herd. A 100% female cow-herd is typically bred via artificial insemination. A 90% (or 95%) female cow-herd is bred naturally by service of one bull per 20 to 50 cows.

How does a dominant male cow know where to lead the herd?

Often it's not the bull that's responsible for leading the herd, just like in wild horses. The strongest, largest and/or oldest cow is the one responsible to lead the herd from one place to another. It's not really known how an animal knows when and where to lead the herd from one spot to another; possibly some sixth sense, body language from others, or even telepathy could be some possible reasons as to how a lead cow knows when and where to lead her herd. Observations also count as well, as she has to see and smell where the best watering hole or the best grazing areas are for her herd.
