Natural service in corral or Bull service

Explanation:
I agree with Patricia, insemination usually refers to artificial insemination and would not be used for bull service. Corral is term used for animal confinement (Merriam Webster)

pen delivery - services delivered to their pen

Explanation:
I think it's a play on words. Servicio a domicilio is when you get something delivered to (or a service provided in) your own home. Here the bulls are providing their services to the cows in their own yard.

I originally wrote pen delivery, as a play on words on home delivery. However, I'm not sure that it works quite as well. The one I have written second is less subtle.

Explanation:
I am neither a native English speaker nor an expert in the subject.
However, I think there is a clear distinction between artificial insemination and natural service (and the terms "service/servicio" are used in both languages).

This is an example (the whole article may be interesting for you):
The use of bulls for natural service remains widespread even in areas where artificial insemination has proven to be very effective

There are many other articles (Google) that may be helpful to get the specific terminology. This is not literature but a technical text requiring accurate terminology.

Best regards,

Patricia
