Yes, it is possible. But it shouldn't be a time to breed her, as she would be much too young at this age. If she's been exposed to a bull before weaning, make sure you keep her separate from any bull until she's at proper breeding age (which would be at around 15 months old) and give her a shot of Lutalyse at weaning to make sure she isn't bred at too young of age. Because even with dairy cattle, anything is possible.
