What age should you start putting your bulls with your heifers?

When the heifers are at least 14 months old, you can put yearling bulls (15-20 heifers per bull for yearlings) in with them. Don't put your big mature bulls in with your heifers as this could cause problems later on.

What is the breeding age of a bull?
A bull will often reach puberty by the time he's around 12 months of age (some a little sooner, if the herd's a good fertile herd), and by this time, as a Yearling Bull, he is ready to be used on heifers or sold to another producer's farm or ranch to be used on the heifers and cows there. Some bull calves can show libido when they reach 6 to 8 months of age. Some won't show it until a month or so later. Most bulls should be showing libido by the time they are 12 months old. However, all this depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some breeds that are later maturing (typically Continentals), like Charolais, Simmental, Limousin or Salers, won't start showing puberty until they're around 12 to 16 months of age. Other breeds that are more early maturing (typically British-type breeds) like Angus, Hereford, Shorthorn, Jersey, or Red Poll will start showing puberty as early as 6 to 9 months of age. A lot of producers who raise British bred bulls will start using them on heifers or cows when they reach ~12 months of age. But the best thing to do is to start using the bulls when they start showing signs of sexual maturity: when they show interest in cows or other heifers that are in heat, attempt to mount and ejaculate, etc.
When do you separate calf from bulls?
This question is asked in quite an awkward manner: are you asking about separating young calves (or a young calf) from a herd of bulls, or about separating heifer calves from the bull calves in your herd? Or are you asking about something entirely which wasn't put across very clearly in this question? I'm assuming that you are referring to the middle question: separating heifer calves from the bull calves. The best time to do that is at weaning, which is around 6 to 8 months for a beef herd. When you process your heifers, make sure you give them a shot of lute (or a similar injectable hormone) to make any unknown-pregnant heifers abort, particularly if your herd is highly fertile and the heifers and bulls have hit puberty before they've been weaned, which happens more often than you might think. As for the first question, the calf should be separated from the bull herd immediately, particularly if it's a young animal and needs its dam. A bull that doesn't know what a calf is will physically abuse that calf with the intentions to do harm or even kill. Even though some herd bulls can be great with calves, this isn't true for all of them. This is partly why many producers choose to remove their herd bulls from the cow-herd before the cows start calving.

What is puberty in cattle?
Puberty in cattle is the same for humans: it is the time when a heifer or bull begins to become more receptive to the possibility of conceiving offspring, due to the fact their reproductive organs start reaching maturity and their secondary sexual characteristics begin to develop. Sexual maturity is when the reproductive organs reach maturity enough that a heifer is old enough to conceive or a bull is old enough to start breeding heifers and cows. Age of puberty in cattle is highly dependent on the breed and how selective for fertility a producer is for his/her cow-calf herd. Heifers in herds that have high fertility have been known to start puberty as early as 4 or 5 months of age. Other herds or breeds may not see heifers beginning puberty until they're between 9 to 12 months of age. Brahman and zebu cattle may have heifers beginning puberty as late as 15 to 20 months of age. The latter breeds often don't see heifers being bred to calve until they're around 24 or 25 months old. The former often have a rule of thumb with having heifers not to be bred until they're 15 months of age. However, some breeders of the more highly fertile herds may find that they have no issues with breeding heifers a few months younger. Of course this is all down to the producer's discretion and management goals.
When do you separate young cows and bulls?
I'm assuming that by "young cows" you are referring to heifers. You should separate heifers and bulls right after they're weaned, which is around 6 to 10 months of age, or before one or more of them are going to start puberty.
