The herds cows will go into heat during the spring season, the bulls will fight amongst themselves for mating rights. An ourock is pregnant for about 4 months before giving birth to one, to two calves. It's quite rare to get more than one offspring per pregnancy but it's been known to happen. The cycle of birth is often times well timed so that the cows have plenty of food to produce milk for a strong new generation.
