The earliest that I have heard of a Longhorn heifer breeding is 9 months. Gennerlly speaking, the earliest that I would expect a Longhorn to begin cycling and be fertile would be between 12 and 14 months. The bull could probably do the job at 10 to 12 months of age, but would not have the height to sucessfully accomplish the task on a full grown cow unless she was standing downhill from him.
