This may seem like a dumb question to some of you (it does to me), but after doing some reading I got a bit confused after reading about a particular breed (Gelbvieh) being capable of having early puberty, and yet is normally an moderate to late-maturing breed. This seems very counter-intuitive to me because I'm thinking that the rate of puberty is equivalent to the rate of maturity, so when I read something like that I get confused. So what's the difference?? Am I right in my thinking, or completely off?
ETA: What's the relevance of length of gestation to rate of maturity or puberty? Is it even related or something different that can really confuddle up things?
