Never measured...but have seen a cow hunker up after being covered and squeeze out enough to run down her rump.

Semen volume depends on the bull's age. An average bull standing at an A.I. centre would average 4.5 ml with 800 000 000 sperm per ml. The largest volume I know of is 14 ml from a mature bull at a veterinary training facility.

It would depend, 6-8 ml would be pretty standard. Amount of semen to come from this would depend on quality and density.
Last year we took a yearling bull in to be collected and in 6 ml he produced enough for 412 straws of semen. That's pretty rare for a yearling bull to collect that much through electro ejaculate.
