Cattle Reproduction

This is an impossible number to obtain, because cows get bred and calve out every day in the US. One day there may be 4 million cows that are bred, the next there may be only 200,000 that get bred. And each year that a statistics is taken of how many cows get bred in the US, each year it will be very different from the next.

Baby cows, also known as calves, come from the reproductive process where a female cow is impregnated by a male bull. The female cow carries the calf in her womb for about nine months before giving birth. Once born, the calf is cared for by its mother and learns to graze and walk shortly after.

ALL bulls should have a hump or crest. A muscular hump on their necks is a sign of adequate masculinity and good fertility. They are what cattle producers call "superior quality sires." A bull with no or a very small hump on its neck is a bull that is inferior, with poor fertility, poor muscling, and lacking in masculinity. These kind of bulls shouldn't be used for breeding females, and should be slaughtered for beef or sold as bologna bulls.

The breeding male of a cow is called a bull.

Depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some may only weigh around 1000 lbs, others may weigh over 2000 lbs. Usually the higher weaning weights (or 205-day weight) a bull calf has, the higher the yearling weight he'll have.

Young cows are called calves because the term comes from the Old Norse word "kalfi," which means young cow or young elk. Calves are typically born in the spring and are nursed by their mothers until they are weaned.

A cow's gestation period is around 9 months, or approximately 283 days. A calf typically weighs between 60 to 100 pounds at birth, depending on the breed of the cow.

In cattle, a father is a called a sire. Also, it would not be a father cow, because "cow" means female. A male is a bull or a steer.

In a way, but remember male cows don't exist, unless they are male and look like a cow, which is often if you find a "bull" that looks like a cow but has testicles where there should be an udder. Ultimately, bulls are bulls, and are the much more masculine counterpart of the female bovine (the cow).

A sire cow is a male breeding cattle that is used primarily for mating with female cows to produce offspring. Sire cows are selected for their desirable genetics and traits to improve the quality of the herd.

Cows grow by consuming food, which provides them with the necessary nutrients for growth and development. During the growth process, cows go through different life stages such as calf, heifer, and adult cow. Genetics, diet, and environmental factors all play a role in the growth of cows.

The period of time that a cow carries her young is called gestation. It typically lasts around 9 months, similar to humans.

It can be challenging to accurately determine a calf's weight just by appearance. Factors like breed, age, and overall body condition can affect how heavy a calf looks. The best way to know a calf's weight is to use a livestock scale or weight tape for a more accurate measurement.

Yes, so long as the bull is unrelated to those cows. It is unrecommended to breed a bull to any of his next-of-kin due to genetic abnormality issues that come with inbreeding and line-breeding. Only do this if the breed itself is pure enough to do any inbreeding.

When she shows her first signs of heat, you have to AI her 12 hours later. The process of AI-ing only takes a couple minutes, or even shorter if you're really good at it.

As for the natural process, the act of copulation between a bull and a cow only takes a few seconds.

When it runs into things or stumble over things that it would see if it weren't blind or if it rubs close to its mother when the mother is walking. But the best way to tell is if you wave your hand in front of its face or close to its eye to see if it reacts or not, or to look for its eyes following your hand if you try to make it follow your hand.

It's a way of producing offspring and to pass one's genes on to the next generation. Cows don't live forever (nor do any animal on this planet), so it's crucial to mate to have other offspring pass on their genes to the next generation.

A Black Angus calf at 4 months old typically weighs around 400-500 pounds. This can vary based on factors like genetics, diet, and overall health of the calf.

Some do, most don't. It always depends on when they're bred that will coincide to when they will calve. Some cows may calve on a New Moon, some may calve when the moon is at it's first or last quarter, or some may calve in between any of these times.

It's usually due to genetics causing a lethal genetic disorder that kills the calf prior to parturition, or mineral deficiency. Curly Calf Syndrome and White Muscle Disease are examples of each, respectively.

That really ultimately depends on the breed of that bull calf.

When they're too old to continue to give birth and suckle a calf. Some cows will keep on breeding when they're in their twenties; others will have to be culled by the time they are only 5 years old.

A young bull refers to a male bovine that is under four years old. At this age, bulls are still developing physically and sexually, and they are often kept separate from mature bulls to prevent aggressive behavior. Young bulls are commonly raised for beef production or breeding purposes.
