This all depends on your herd size, how long your calving season is, and the fertility of your cows and bulls. Some people will calve their cows 365 days a year, whereas others will have all of their cows calve within a time frame of 45 to 60 days, no matter if you have a herd of 50 cows or 1000. The better fertility you have in your cowherd, the shorter your calving season will be.

They weren't. Branding was only done once a year, not twice. (However, twice-a-year branding is only necessary if a producer would have two calving seasons; in the Old West, there was only one calving season per year, hence only one branding-time a year.) Cattle are rounded up so that branding, castrating and thus recording of herd/calf/cow numbers could be done, then again to move cattle that were considered excess or "culls" to the herd could be sold.

Preg-checking is a method done to verify a cow's pregnancy status, or if a cow is bred or not. This is done primarily by rectal palpation, though other "non-invasive" methods of preg-checking are being practiced, such as blood testing, ultra-sound, timing of heats, or bumping. Farmers also check pregnant cows when they are close to calving. This is so that the producer estimates what cows are closest to calving and when they might drop a calf. It will also determine if they are close to calving or not.
