It's the end of the breeding season. Breeding seasons on any farm are normally 60 to 80 days long (the shorter the better since cows that do not get bred are deemed as cull cows because of their lower fertility rate), and in order to keep track and improve the fertility of the cow herd, the herd bull must be removed after a certain period of time.
