How many cows do bulls mate in a day?

It depends on the bull. Some may be able to breed up to 5 cows per day, others maybe only 1 or 2. It all depends on how receptive cows are and whether they're in standing heat at the time. A lot of breeding occurs at night, so you may see the bull breeding only a couple cows during the day.

So they can enhance the best characteristics. For example, they may only breed the more "beefy" cows that produce more beef than the others.

How often do cows and bulls mate?

Typically a ranch's breeding period occurs only once a year. However, some ranches opt to have two breeding seasons a year, with a different herd of cows per breeding season, but using the same bulls for each breeding period. A typical cow should only be bred once to be settled, but if there are more than one bull in the herd at the time, she can be ridden more than once. Bulls, on the other hand, are the more sexually active of the cowherd, and will be very active breeding anywhere from 25 to 50 females in a breeding season.

All of this goes back to supply and demand. If only a few people wanted them, and many were bred, then they would be cheap and the opposite is true. Raising and/or breeding cattle is a business.
