How do you count a head of cattle?

There are 33. Have you ever heard of getting a head count? Same story.

A head of cattle is one cow.

A "head" of cattle is just another way of saying herd of cattle. Instead of saying I have 100 herd of cattle, you would say I have 100 head of cattle (this way you are specifying the exact number of cows you have in your herd)

It's just the amount of cattle there are. If there are 50 head of cattle in the field, there are 50 animals in the field.

The noun herd is a count noun: A herd of cattle blocked the road. Several herds of cattle are pastured on our acreage.

It's how many you have. If you have 100 steer, then you have 100 head of cattle.

What do you mean "a cattle head?" Are you trying to say "head of cattle"? If you are, one head of cattle is just a way of counting the number of "heads" or cattle in a herd. One head = 1 cow or cattlebeast or animal or whatever you want to call them. However, if you're asking what is a cattle head, then here's the answer as far as I can answer it: a cattle head could be one to two things--a head of a prized cow, steer or bull that is mounted on the wall after its counterpart passed on, particularly if this head is of a Texas Longhorn that had an amazingly large rack. The second thing could be what I mentioned above.

So with 80 head of cattle, we have a 1:3 ratio of dairy to beef, respectively. That translates to: for every head of dairy cattle there are three beef cattle. Since, mathematically, 80 total head of cattle with a 1:3 ratio don't really work out to nice, round numbers, we will have to work with fractions and such. 1:3 ratio can be converted to a fraction: 1/3. 1/3=0.3333333... So, with 80 head of cattle, we find the number of dairy cattle: 80 x (1/3) = 26.66666666.... Which we could round off to 26 dairy cattle. Since we have 80 total head, we subtract to find how many beef cattle are in the herd: 80 - 26 = 54. So the answer is thus: If there are 80 head of cattle, and the ratio of dairy to beef cattle is 1:3, then there are 26 dairy cattle and 54 beef cattle.

9 cattle are left. It killed 24 cattle.

Head count are two words...

Comes from the 1800s when cattlemen had to count the heard in a cattle drive. As the cowboys rounded up the head of cattle, a person would clap together two pieces of hinged wood for every 10 head of cattle passing through the gate. It is possible a cattlemen was caught pleasuring himself on a long lonely drive and was refered to as playing with his tallywacker and the slang term was born, or had come.

head check? (you know, like a head count)

Depends how many head of cattle you have, how the market is, and how much the animals weigh when your planning on selling them.

Depends on what size of livestock you have.

The Boss Head Count - 2013 was released on: USA: 11 January 2013

There was a need for cattle drives in Texas as the Texas cattle numbers grew so much that they could not be sold for more than $2 per head in Texas whereas they could fetch as high as $40 per head elsewhere.

An easy answer to this is, "depends" on the meaning of this question, referring to cost or, how many is a head of cattle. The word "cattle", is plural. I will assume the question is "how much was a cow" in the 1860's As a "head" refers to a number. A head, would be just one, 100 cows would be "100 head". It is improper to call steers, heifers, and bulls cows. each has a different use and you would not want to buy 5 cows to replace the old ones you have you would want heifers, nor would you want to buy steers when you need bulls and there, is the need for distinction. therefore, to count your herd of 40 cows 10 bulls 25 steers and 25 heifers is 100 head. now that that is straightened out, the cost of one head in 1860's was about $3.00.
