[QUOTE="novaman, post: 507373, member: 2744"] It isn't an age thing. It depends on how fast the animal matures and their size. I've had heifers bred as early as 2 months of age. Obviously the goal is to get them to a point where the pregnancy won't hinder their growth or their ability to give birth. That said I try to breed my heifers by 15 months of age so their first calf is right at 2 years of age. As far as bulls I'm not sure. All I can tell you is that I buy yearlings and they go out with the girls around 15 months of age and have never had a problem. [/QUOTE]
