[QUOTE="dun, post: 29270, member: 34"] Puberty in cattle is an iffy thing. Some will start cycling when they're 6 months old, some won't until they're 12 months or more. You can have the vet do a reproduction (RTS) exam. They palpate the utereus and ovaries and determine at what stage of maturity they're at. If she is close to starting cycling, she may be succesfully induced to cycle, but she may also not be induced. You'll also have to have her at an adequate weight and body condition to cycle/breed. To calve in April your looking at breeding in July. In some areas, hot weather and the quality of the forage can make conception difficult during that time. How are you planning on breeding her, AI/Natural Service? Sometimes with heifers that are close, running them with horny steers or a bull will help to get them started. dun [/QUOTE]
