A bull can detect the scent of a cow in heat from distances of up to 5 miles (8 kilometers) or more, depending on environmental conditions and wind direction. The keen sense of smell in bulls is crucial for locating potential mates during the breeding season. Factors like terrain and weather can influence this distance, but their olfactory abilities are remarkably sensitive.

How do cows find its mate?

A bull is able to identify a cow in heat by changes in her moo?

This is false. Bulls are more able to identify a cow in heat by pheromones excreted in her urine, and by her actions of trying to mount other cows, but mostly be other cows mounting her. Bulls "taste" her urine and do a flehman response by curling back is upper lip to smell if she is in heat or not or close to standing heat. A cow in heat can carry pheromones to a bull on the breeze as well, which goes to show you what farmers say when a "bull can smell a cow in heat for miles" is more true than the changes in frequency and pitch in her bellering.
