It's not really known exactly why cows or heifers will mount other cows or heifers, though possibly as a show of dominance. It certainly is a good way to tell whether a particular cow or heifer is in estrus, but as to why they do it, it's most likely due to other cattle sensing the increase in pheromones being given off and estrogen activity that is going through the female's system when she is in estrus. The mounting behaviour is probably done out of sexual frustration or excitement, especially if there's not a bull around to settle that female that is in estrus. However, females will even mount each other as a way to attract a bull. Even the cow or heifer that is in estrus will mount a bull!

How does a cow attract a mate?
Cows (and heifers) can only attract a bull as a mate if they go into heat. They give off pheromones from their systems and through their urine, as well as beller a lot, pace around a lot, mount other cows, pick fights with other cows, and even do a bit of foreplay with the bull. When push comes to shove then the mating begins.

What is a cattle mount?
I assume you are talking about when a Bull mounts a cow in the hope of inseminating her.Mounting is when a Bull mounts the back of a cow and injects semen through her vagina, a cows vagina is situated on her rump especially for this occasion. mounting is the verb used to describe the action undertaken by the bull.Cows also mount other cows. I know this sounds weird but this does not mean the cows is a lesbian, it just means that the cows emotions and hormones are very high. When a farmer sees a cow mounting her fellow cows he/she knows that this cow is in season(the right time for fertilization) so the farmer would either allow the bull to mount the cow or A.I. the cow himself.A.I. stands for Artificial Insemination, this is where frozen semen from a chosen bull is used to fertilize the egg artificially.I hope you find this information suitable and helpful ;)
