Only once is necessary to get her settled. However, during a heat period, one cow can be bred to multiple bulls (if there are that many) more than once during her heat period.

Does a bull mate with the same cow more than once?

Yes. A bull will mate with a cow more than once during her heat cycle if he is so inclined and if he has few other cows to mate with.


Will a bull mate with the same cow?

Yes and no. Occasionally a virgin bull with very little to no experience mating with a herd of cows will tag along with one cow and ignore the rest of the cowherd. Most of the time, in a breeding season, one bull will be able to settle as many cows as he can, often up to 50 if he's that good and if he doesn't have to travel far to service his girls. In a herd where the producer likes to keep some of the females born from his cows as replacements, another bull is needed to service those replacement heifers, and if the original bull is good enough to be kept, he will be used again the next breeding season on those same cows. This is actually mimicking what the bovine relatives like bison will do in the wild, though with every breeding season one bull may get a different harem each season, depending on his age and status as "Top Bull." However, in some cases where there is only one bull for a herd, he will have to mate with the same cows every year to keep producing offspring with his genetics. If a bull is showing signs of weakness, infertility, old age or poor conformation, he will either be culled from the herd by the producer, or, if he's in the wild competing with other bulls, he will be ousted from his harem[s] by younger more viable bulls that will take over and spread their genetics around. In cases where bulls are raised on a farm or ranch, often the producers let the bulls cull themselves out by how they are able to keep up with breeding the same cows every year. If a bull isn't meeting the standards of settling cows every year, and a fair number of cows come up open, he will be semen tested then shipped to be made into ground beef. When a bull is culled, a new, even better bull is needed to be of service to the producer's cows. In terms of cow herds where artificial insemination is necessary, sometimes one cow may be bred with the semen of the same bull she has been bred to the previous year. Often though, a herd of cows will not be bred to with the semen of the same bull every year, especially if the calves that came out of those AI'd cows weren't what the producer wanted or was hoping for. The beauty of AI allows a herd of cows to be bred to different bulls, sometimes one cow per bull, to get the best offspring as possible.

Flying squirrels mate in the same way many other mammals mate. This involves the male inserting his penis into the female's vagina. These squirrels reproduce once per year.
