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.

Why are cattle bred by artificial selection?
They are not. Cattle (cows and heifers) are bred either via artificial insemination, or natural breeding.
How often should cows get pregnant?
Cows should get pregnant an average of once a year. Some can get their cows bred twice a year, or once every 11 months, though it's a more common practice to have them bred once a year or every 12 months. This is due in part to their nine to 10 month long gestation period, as well as the time allotted to allow them to rest and get back into normal cycling before being bred again.
