How many cows can one bull breed?
Maximum is 25 to 50 cows in one breeding season. Younger yearling bulls tend to service 15 to 30 cows/heifers in one season. Some farms can only afford to have a bull per 10 cows if the pastures are too large for one bull to cover 20 or 50 females in one breeding season.
How many cows do bulls mate in a day?
It depends on the bull. Some may be able to breed up to 5 cows per day, others maybe only 1 or 2. It all depends on how receptive cows are and whether they're in standing heat at the time. A lot of breeding occurs at night, so you may see the bull breeding only a couple cows during the day.
How often do cows and bulls mate?
Typically a ranch's breeding period occurs only once a year. However, some ranches opt to have two breeding seasons a year, with a different herd of cows per breeding season, but using the same bulls for each breeding period. A typical cow should only be bred once to be settled, but if there are more than one bull in the herd at the time, she can be ridden more than once. Bulls, on the other hand, are the more sexually active of the cowherd, and will be very active breeding anywhere from 25 to 50 females in a breeding season.
What age do cows stop breeding?
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.
How many bulls should you have on a farm?
It depends, Many dairies have no bulls on the farm and all breeding is done by artificial insemination. Most small farms only need one bull, especially if the bull is with the cows all year round and you don't have a defined breeding season. Things you need to take into account though are the age of the bull and if the cows are synchronized. You also need to account for how much land the cow are out on. If the bull is two years old you want to give him about 20 cows. Three or four year olds could probably have up to 40 cows. You definitely don't want to go over 50 cows. If the bull is old you probably want to decrease cows too. If the cows are syncronized you need more bulls because the cows are all coming into heat about the same time. You probably want to have 10-15 cows per bull. If the cows are out on range and it is difficult for them to move around you need less cows per bull. You also want to have your bulls tested each year for venereal diseases, semen count and motility. Also watch for lameness and if they are in good shape going into the breeding season. If he can't get to the cows then he can't breed them. One last thing if you are on a small farm with only one bull make sure you don't breed him to his daughters or granddaughters! Try AI, or a new bull or sell all related heifers.
