[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 143405, member: 968"] I think Cypressfarm explained it very well. Some bulls tend to be "hard" on cows & heifers, and others are super gentle mounting even the smallest heifer. A "well grown out" yearling should be able to be put with 8-14 females (that he can reach) by 14 months old. And yes, I've heard of the 1 cow per month "guide" and believe they still say that's pretty accurate. Now, like CPF noted, some BREEDS are more fertile at a younger age than others. Even though Simmental are Continentals, they "mature" younger than even many british, whereas the Charolais & Limos are slower developing sexually. Just use common sense in matching size, which I think you already indicated that by mentioning moderate size cows with a moderate to larger frame bull. [/QUOTE]
