Heifers will hit puberty anywhere from 6 to 9 months of age--or older--depending on the breed. Heifers are ready to breed by the time they're 15 months old. Bulls will hit puberty around the same age, and are ready to breed at around 12 months of age.

What age should bulls and heifers be bred for the first time?

Bulls can reach puberty by the time they are 8 months of age, but most are put in with the breeding herd by the time they are 12 months of age. Heifers reach puberty by the time they are 10 to 12 months of age, but most heifers are not bred until they are 15 months old. Of course the breed of the bulls and heifers depends on when they reach puberty and/or when they should be used for producing offspring.

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.
