[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 23025"] If it is a heifer with heavy (at least 50%) Brahman influence my experience, and understanding, is that only in rare cases will she come in heat earlier than 12 to 15 months. Brahman's and many of their crosses reach sexual maturity later than English or Continental cattle. Years ago (and I think to some extent even today) some ranchers were fairly pleased just to get them bred at 20 to 24 months, especially in areas with poor forage quality. Anold Ziffle [/QUOTE]
