Selective breeding is done in cattle because cattlemen and breeders with their cattle herds and/or breeds they care for and manage are always improving the genetics and productivity of their animals. Every breed has its faults, so cattlemen and farmers are always selecting animals to improve the cowherd and culling out those that are not improving the herd.

What did this selective breeding do to the level of genetic variation in domesticated beef cattle?
It has given producers cattle that are meatier for beef and that produce more milk for dairy. In selective breeding you are able to choose the genetics that best fit the cow, say she has strong conformation but low milk quantity, so you would choose a bull that is strong in milk quantity.
Can humans use selective breeding?
Yes, that is how they have bread Dogs, Cattle, and Pigeons.
