At what age do you breed Angus cattle?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Angus cattle can start breeding at around 15-18 months of age. However, it is recommended to wait until they are closer to 2 years old to ensure they are fully developed physically and mentally for breeding.
