Sick and deformed chicks are often culled if the farmer or hatchery can see no way to save the chick. A deformed chick would not usually survive in a flock as chickens always do their own culling. The weak birds are targeted by the healthy, stronger birds.
Roosters are also culled at hatcheries if their intent is to produce just laying hens. More and more hatcheries are now separating the males to be sold off as meat birds rather than culling as was the practice years ago.
The purpose of culling is to reduce the size of a herd of animals. Usually sick or weak animals are culled. In some cases herds are culled to reduce the breeding population. In this case it may be the males of the species or the female depending on the needs.

A cow will have a calf once a year. If she goes for longer than that she gets culled. In her lifetime, well that depends on how long she lives. Heifers become cows when they calve at around 24 to 30 months of age (depending on the breed), and the average cow lives to 15 to 20 years of age, so that mean a cow will have 13 to 18 calves in her lifetime. Of course that's just average, since a heifer or cow can be culled at any age if she poses any problems, productive-, temperament- or health-wise.
It's usually "good" for the species as a whole. It's obviously bad for the specific individuals that get culled.

Animals that are commonly culled include those that are considered overpopulated, such as deer and feral hogs, to manage ecosystems and prevent habitat degradation. Livestock, like cattle or sheep, may also be culled for health reasons, to control disease outbreaks, or to maintain herd quality. Additionally, invasive species that threaten native wildlife and ecosystems, such as certain rodents or birds, are often culled to protect biodiversity.
