bullocks

[dove]

please excuse my ignorance but i will ask anyway.

there seem to be loads and loads of cows in fields and no bulls, does one bull mate with them all, and if so, arnt all cows inbreds?

sorry to be so dumb, just wondered if anyone has time for an answer? please

Most farmers have one or more bulls, but it is also very common for cows to be fertilised using artificial insemination.  This means that farmers can introduce fresh breeding to his herd regularly and at minimal cost or biosecurity risk.  It is not usual practice to knowingly interbreed cattle, and on the whole a farmer will have records of each calf's parentage.  But having several bulls to do a job which one could easily manage is not always safe or economical.

what he said.

one bull can service many cows, but one doesn't put a chap to deflower his own daughter thereafter...

farmers aren't the marquis de sade impersonators they're made out to be...

usually.

Artificial insemination is the way forward now, also there is a big safety issue with bulls, most of them can be pretty dangerous and can get pretty big , so this would be endangering the farmer.
