[QUOTE="novatech, post: 593022, member: 5494"] The fertility topic sparked a question in my mind. I raise Brahman which as a general rule are late maturing. I have been AI'ing most of my cattle. Because some of my cattle are hard to get settled wit AI I decided to raise a clean-up bull. At 14 months the bull got out with the cows. He has settled 4 of them. Basically this is very uncommon for Brahmans. They are usually not turned out until they are 2 years old. So my questions are; Will this hurt the bull? How and Why? Is this a heritable trait and to what degree? Secondly I have a heifer that Is cycling as a yearling and again the norm is 2 years old for breeding. Same questions. [/QUOTE]
