The most likely reason is that you have several bulls in your herd that are testing the cows and heifers for signs if heat if they think that any one of them may be close to being receptive. Bulls in a steer herd will also do this to other steers. Why? Because it's a bull being a bull that feels he's more masculine around the steers and treats those steers like they're his females, even though they urinate from the same location as he does. When bulls test the urine, they raise their heads up and curl back the lip to let the urine drain into the Jacobson's organ located in the nose. This organ tests for pheromone activity to see if the bull is going to be "getting lucky" anytime soon.
