I am fine with heifers starting to cycle at twelve months. When we let the bulls in the youngest possible heifer is thirteen months, most are of course 15 months when the bulls get there. As long as they are bred I am fine, if not bred they are culls no matter why they were not bred.
The thread about the "teen pregnancies" and the one about scrotal circumference and its relation to early cycling got me to bring the subject up again: is there any breeder on this forum that ever has heifers cycling too late? Is this at all a real world problem?
Heifers not getting pregnant happens of course, but is late cycling the reason at all?
