A calf is much too young to be bred, unless she is experiencing very early signs of puberty, in which there can be a possibility that she will be bred by her sire or even other bull calves. Average age that a heifer should be starting puberty is around 15 months of age, though there are herds where heifers start puberty by the time they are around 10 to 12 months old. If early maturing or early signs of puberty start, the bull should be pulled out of the herd, especially if a designated breeding plan is laid out.
