    Ummm… We don’t typically have just one pen or pasture for the animals. The males and females are typically kept separate from each other, except for when we specifically want more animals.

      Cattle are artificially inseminated when farmers want more, they don’t get put all together

        We didn’t have cattle. Just horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, a couple turkeys, and rabbits… Tons of rabbits accidentally one time. We let them do their thing when we wanted more.

          The context was factory farming in general and cows in particular. I’m glad you didn’t kill the animals your family raised, though!
