Some possible reasons include:

- She could be a late maturing heifer

- She could be in poor condition

- She probably hasn't been getting adequate nutrition in the form of minerals like copper, selenium, manganese and iodine to be able to breed

- She's a freemartin (sterile heifer)

- She's too young to be bred

- She's already pregnant (possibility!)

- She has cystic ovaries

- She had been sick that may have rendered her infertile

The list goes on.

Is it possible for a young heifer that is in calf to go to a bull to be served?

NO!! No, no, no, no, no!! A young heifer (and I'm assuming that's a heifer that is around 6 to 12 months of age) should NOT even be in calf in the first place, nor should she even be serviced by a bull when pregnant! A pregnant should be at least 15 months of age when she is bred, and 26 months when bred again to produce another calf. Some people feel that a heifer should be 24 months of age when she is bred to have her first calf! But NEVER a young heifer, never ever ever!!Get her aborted NOW. Inject her with some Estrumate or Lutylase IMMEDIATELY. Don't waste your time on trying to get a young girl like her to be producing a calf so young, you can afford to wait a few more months or longer!


What is a generic young cow called?

The generic name for a young cow is a heifer. If she is a first-calver, then she would be called a first-calf heifer, usually, though some people refer a "first-calf heifer" to a heifer whose dam was a young cow that has calved for the first time.


What is the age of puberty of a Limousin heifer?

A Limousin heifer is expected to hit puberty at around 8 to 10 months of age, though some fertile lines have had heifers reach puberty earlier.


Can a heifer be a bull?

No. Heifers are female, bulls are male. Heifers cannot change their sex like some other creatures can. However, heifers that were born with a twin brother and shared the same placenta with her twin brother can develop bull-like characteristics. These are called Freemartins or Hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites are 100% sterile, and a hermaphrodite heifer is a heifer that has both male and female sexual characteristics but can not fully become a bull like REAL bulls are.


Can a black angus heifer be bred at 600 pounds?

No, unless the average weight of the main cowherd is 1000 lbs, which then the heifer is 60% of the average cowherd weight. But, if the average mature weight of your herd is a bit higher, then definitely not, as she is obviously too young and too light to be bred. If she's bred already, inject some Lutalyse in her NOW.
