What age should you breed a calf?
The vast majority of calves won't be of age to be bred or considered ready to be bred. By the time these calves are ready to be bred they are no longer considered or even called calves. A heifer is ready to be bred by the time she's 15 months of age. Bulls are ready to be bred by the time they are around 12 months of age. But note that sexual maturity differs with every breed, most notably between Jerseys and Brahman cattle.

When is a heifer too old to be bred?
There really isn't a specific age when a heifer is too old to be bred. However, past five to seven years of age can be considered "too old" to get her bred. And yet, you still can get her bred if you use a really calving-ease (and proven) bull on her, just like you would with 15 month old heifers.

What age would heifers calve for the first time?
That really depends on when she was bred. The average gestation period of a cow (or heifer) is around 285 days. Thus, if a heifer was bred when she was 15 months old, then she would likely give birth by the time she is 24 months of age. If she was bred when she was 18 or 20 months old, then she would calve out when she's 27 to 29 months of age.
What is the age limit of a bovine Heifer?
Most heifers should be around 15 to 18 months of age to be receptive and be able to get bred. Of course this depends on the breed and the type of cattle. For dairy cattle, a farmer aims to have a heifer calve by 24 months, or two years of age. The gestation period for a cow is approximately the same as for humans - nine months. Hence, a farmer usually aims to inseminate a heifer at 15 months of age, but this also depends on the health and condition of the animal and whether is is physically fit to become pregnant. For beef cattle, a heifer generally should be inseminated at around the same age. However, some breeds are quite late maturing, and will only be able to get bred at 18 to 22 months of age. Brahmans (or Zebu-type cattle) are late maturing, enough that only sees heifers getting bred or inseminated at this age.

Can a 5 month old heifer get bred?
Well she shouldn't!! If she has started puberty at that age (which is quite rare), she can get bred, but it his highly not recommended because of her small size, and the fact that she still has a lot of growing to do in order to be able to conceive and give birth to a healthy vibrant calf. Heifers should ONLY be bred at no earlier than 15 months of age!
