A cow will have a calf once a year. If she goes for longer than that she gets culled. In her lifetime, well that depends on how long she lives. Heifers become cows when they calve at around 24 to 30 months of age (depending on the breed), and the average cow lives to 15 to 20 years of age, so that mean a cow will have 13 to 18 calves in her lifetime. Of course that's just average, since a heifer or cow can be culled at any age if she poses any problems, productive-, temperament- or health-wise.
