It's really only dairy cows who have to make do with the AI man. Most beef cows get real beef...
You could swap with our bull for a day if you like -- he seems to have a very good time of it. But remember that each cow only bulls for one day every three weeks, and gets in calf within a couple of cycles, so that's only two days or so a year.
Please be gentle with them though -- our bull is a real gentleman and treats them well (once one couldn't get up afterwards; we thought she was hurt, but in fact she was just dazed from the experience...).
I'd like to be a swift, I think, or perhaps a peregrine.
