It is not sure whether you are asking about national or world cattle population, or a cow herd in general. For the former, that is most impossible to answer. For the latter, a typical cow herd should have at least a 90 to 100% female herd. A 100% female cow-herd is typically bred via artificial insemination. A 90% (or 95%) female cow-herd is bred naturally by service of one bull per 20 to 50 cows.
