Heifers getting serviced by a bull or through artificial insemination to get pregnant and give birth after 9 months of gestation.
A yearling bull, which is best used on heifers, can breed from 10 to 20 heifers in a breeding season.
A male intact bovine that is used for breeding cows and heifers.
Breeding season for cows and heifers should be from 45 to 90 days long. Sixty days is considered optimum.
They are not. Cattle (cows and heifers) are bred either via artificial insemination, or natural breeding.
It's best to leave him in for around 60 to 80 days to make sure he catches all of them.

Bulls are best used for breeding cows and heifers. They are also used in rodeos and bull fighting as well as for beef, but their primary use and goal in life is to breed as many cows and heifers as possible and produce offspring.

Most dairy heifers should be at least 15 months of age before they can be bred.
Your heifers weight should be 60% of the cow herd's. But, they should also be around 15 months of age, though a couple months plus or minus isn't going to hurt either.
Bulls can reach puberty by the time they are 8 months of age, but most are put in with the breeding herd by the time they are 12 months of age. Heifers reach puberty by the time they are 10 to 12 months of age, but most heifers are not bred until they are 15 months old. Of course the breed of the bulls and heifers depends on when they reach puberty and/or when they should be used for producing offspring.
All kinds, actually. Beef and dairy cows, beef steers and heifers, beef and dairy bulls (young and old), and freemartin heifers of either dairy or beef breeding. Primarily, though, beef steers, young bulls (on occasion, though), and beef heifers unsuited for the breeding herd due to factors like temperament, comformation, size/weight, mothering ability, etc., are in feedlots on a "finishing" ration for three to four months prior to slaughter.
Heifers should be bred when they reach 15 months of age. Cows should be rebred 45 to 60 days after calving.
By selecting cows that have the best milk production in the herd and breeding them to bulls whose dams also had superior milk production, resulting in heifers with higher milk production than their dams.
