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)
There are around 40,000 head of Jersey cattle in the United States, with higher concentrations in states like Wisconsin and California where dairy farming is prominent.
Killing someone else's cattle and selling it
The wealth of a Celt was measured by how many head of cattle a person owned and would best describe the social institution of power. By having more cattle a person was deemed to have more power.
Oh, dude, it totally depends on the size of the cattle and the specific trailer, but on average, a large semi tractor trailer cattle hauler can fit around 40-50 head of cattle. But, like, don't quote me on that, I'm not a cattle-trailer-size expert or anything. Just imagine a bunch of mooing passengers going on a road trip together.
According to the International Erosion Control Association, which tracks overgrazing, the world's cattle herd went from 720 million in 1950 to 1.53 billion in 2001. In Africa there are an estimated 230 million cattle, while India hold's the world's largest cattle population with 283.1 million. The United States has 98 million head of cattle, while China has 130 million head.
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.
No. Caput means head.

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.
There are 33. Have you ever heard of getting a head count? Same story.
Yes, but you could also say 35 head of cattle. It really doesn't matter how you refer to "35 cattle," just so long as you mean the whole herd of cattle and not just the cows or the bulls or the calves and so on.
the top of the head is called the scalp
They are horns.

For slaughter, you mean, right? They are shot in the head with a cap-bolt gun that shoots out a metal rod into the brain of the cow, killing it instantly.
no it is not mean to put cattle in feedlots as long as the farmer takes care of them
The cattle were covered with boils
