There's a 50% chance that a cow will give birth to a bull calf. Same with heifers. Therefore the ratio is 1:1 that a cow will be mother to a bull (bull calf) or a future cow (heifer calf)

Do male cows have a cervix?

Male cows don't exist. There are only cows and bulls, no female cows, male cows, male bulls, female bulls. With that said, only cows (which are, by definition, mature female bovines that have given birth to at least one calf) are ones that have cervixes, bulls do not. Bulls have their major reproductive organs close to or mostly outside their body, cows have theirs inside.

Is every cow a girl?

Yes! Cows are mature female bovines that have given birth to at least two calves. Heifers are females who have not given birth at all during their lifetime, and first-calf heifers are heifers that have given birth to their first calf. Steers and bulls, on the other hand, are MALES. Steers are male bovines that have been castrated or neutered (some people like to refer to them as "castrated bulls"), and bulls are intact male bovines that have not been castrated and are used (or going to be used) for breeding purposes.


How many cows can a bull impregnate in 8 hours?

It is important that you do not over work the bull, usually in a period of 8 hours about 3-5 is a good number for older bulls. For a better understanding, the ideal bull to cow ratio would be for yearling bulls 15-20 cows. 2 year old bulls 20-30 cows; and for 3 year old or older 30-40. This ratio is usually for pasture breeding, when the cows and bull are turned out for the summer months when the bull will then breed them as they cycle.
