In terms of betterment for the animal's state, I would have to say natural breeding is. But this really depends on a number of things, and it can be a double-edged sword.

Small cows or heifers being bred to a large bull may cause injury to the heifers' or cows' hips, backs and legs because they have to bear all that weight on their backs. A knowledgable cattleman will know that a small bull will service his/her smaller heifers/cows without injury.

Secondly, if there is more than one bull in with a herd of cows, injuries may develop between these bulls. A bull that jealously shoves off another bull off a cow may result in that bull having a broken penis. Bulls that constantly fight and pay little attention to the cows that need the most attention will result in more open cows and injuries or a death to either bull. And, one bull may get more worn out than the other if he is constantly chasing that bull away and breeding the cows instead. Bulls tend to eat little when it is breeding season, as they have to pay more attention to all his girls wanting him than to food. This is why bulls have to be in top condition before they are let in to do their business.

However the pros are equal to the cons. Bulls that are highly fertile and promiscuous will breed their girls successfully. A bull with good libido and good to excellent fertility will have a 95 to 100% chance of covering all his cows with very few to no open ones. Having a bull also saves on labour when having to breed cows, since the bulls do all the work for you. And for the cows, they do not have to be herded into a chute into an AI chute to get bred by an AI technician. The cows are out on pasture acting and doing what nature granted them to do.

Which method is commonly used for improving cattle breeds and why?

Selective breeding is the most common method used to improve cattle breeds. It is a method where a producer keeps track of those cows that are doing well according to what he/she expects from them, and notes those cows that are not doing well so they can be sorted from the herd and sold as cull cows. This same producer selects bulls that improve the breed according to what the goal the producer has for his/her cow herd and use them on his/her cows to produce calves with the desirable characteristics needed to improve that breed. Calves that are inferior or average are sold as feeders. As to why it is commonly used, it's because it's the easiest method to enhance a breed and expand or improve certain characteristics of that breed according to what the producer wants or is looking for.
