The puberty stage takes place at the 11-16th month periods and normally at 15 months they are at a size at which they are ready to be bred. Some heifers might have been born later in the year, or might be smaller in size so they will not be able to be bred as soon as other heifers that are larger or born earlier. Thus, in more technical terms, most heifers should weigh around 60% or more of the cowherd weight average in order to qualify as being the right age or time to be bred. However, at about a year old, the cow loses her baby teeth, which would not be an appropriate time to breed cattle because she can't eat properly to provide milk. Consider waiting until about 20 months of age.

How did the Black Angus become a breed?
From the An Sci OkState University Breeds of Livestock site on Angus cattle:Origin"There are three distinct and well-defined breeds of polled cattle in the United Kingdom. These breeds are the Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway, and the red polled Norfolk and Suffolk breed that is found in England. Polled cattle apparently existed in Scotland before recorded history because the likeness of such cattle is found in prehistoric carvings of Aberdeen and Angus. Historians state that there were hornless cattle in Siberia centuries earlier. A hornless race of cattle was depicted in Egypt by sculptors and painters of that ancient civilization. Some historians feel that the Aberdeen-Angus breed and the other Scottish breeds sprang from the aboriginal cattle of the country and that the breeds as we find them today are indigenous to the districts in which they are still found."Early Scottish Cattle. Although little is known about the early origin of the cattle that later became known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed, it is thought that the improvement of the original stock found in the area began in the last half of the 18th century. The cattle found in northern Scotland were not of uniform color, and many of the cattle of the early days had varied color markings or broken color patterns. Many of the cattle were polled, but some few had horns. The characteristics we commonly call polled was often referred to in the old Scottish writings by the terms of 'humble,' 'doddies,' 'humlies,' or 'homyl.'"In the link below, is a more in-depth look at the history of how the Angus cattle became a breed.
