Most cats reach puberty and become sexually mature around six months old, although some can start as early as four months or as late as nine months. Because of this it is best to spay or neuter before the cat is six 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.

What is the age of puberty in cattle?

Cattle will begin puberty as young as 4 to 5 months of age and reach sexual maturity at about 1 year or 12 months of age. Naturally this depends on the breed and the genetics of the cattle herd itself. Some breeds will have bulls and heifers beginning puberty at 8 to 9 months, or even later, at 10 to 12 months. Such animals may not reach sexual maturity until 15 to 20 months of age, respectively, or more.Note that age of puberty to rate of maturity is like comparing apples to oranges: they are two different traits, one is not affected by the other.The average at which cattle reach puberty is about 11 to 13 months. Generally, a heifer is able to breed successfully at about 18 months. A bull can successfully breed at about the same age.
