Zebu cows are typically ready for breeding between 12 to 15 months of age, although it is essential to consider their physical development and overall health. Breeding too early can lead to complications for both the cow and her offspring. It's best to wait until they reach about 60% of their mature weight to ensure they are physically prepared for pregnancy and lactation. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific recommendations based on individual animals.
