Well you can bread her at any time, so long as you don't feed to much of it all at once, since it is very rich in starch and carbohydrates. Bread is a good low-cost method of getting a heifer to gain weight, especially if she's pulling her mother down too much, or she needs to gain weight. However, you need to be careful how much you feed her because there is a risk that she will get much too fat on it, and this will hinder her breeding ability.
What else can I help you with?
What is a hefer?
a young cow This is, however, a common misspelling. The correct spelling is "heifer". It does not directly relate to age of the cow. It is actually a cow that hasn't birthed a calf. A heifer becomes a cow once she successfully delivers a calf.

That all depends on the age of the heifer. The older the heifer, the heavier she'll be.
What is a young cow or bull called?
A young cow is called a heifer, and a young bull is called a young bull or a yearling bull if it is between the ages of 10 to 18 months of age.
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 the usual age of cows first heat?
It depends on the breed and weight of the heifer, but I have seen Holsteins as young as 6 months in heat. However, this is not a recommended age to begin breeding.
What age does a guinea pig bread?

Is a heifer 18 months old to young to breed?
It is generally recommended to wait until a heifer is at least 15 months old and has reached a certain weight before breeding to ensure proper growth and development. Breeding too early can lead to health and reproductive issues. Therefore, 18 months old is an appropriate age for breeding a heifer.
What is the term used for a female cow under 2 years of age?
A heifer. If she's pregnant she's called a bred heifer.
When should a young heifer be put in calf?
Young heifers, as in heifers that are younger than 6 months of age, should NEVER be bred to calf, as this is much too young for them and too hard on their growing bodies. The youngest a heifer can be bred at is when they are 15 months old. Most heifers reach puberty by the time they are 11 or 12 months old, but shouldn't be bred until they are either 60% or 70% of the average weight of the main cowherd, or reach 15 months of age. Most of the time it is the weight that many cattle producers rely on for best calf production of the heifers, as sometimes a heifer that reaches 15 months of age is still too small to be bred.
What is the offspring of a bull and a cow?
A calf. If it's a male, it's a bull calf. If it's female, it's a heifer calf. Bull calves become steer calves if they are castrated. A bull calf becomes a bull when he is weaned and reaches one year of age. Bulls are raised and used for breeding cows and heifers. Steers are steers when they are fed and raised for beef. A steer can become an ox if he is trained at a young age to pull carts and wagons. A heifer calf is no longer a heifer calf after she is weaned and becomes one year of age. She is a bred heifer when she is impregnated by a bull at 15 to 18 months of age, then a first-calf heifer when she calves. She becomes a cow after having her second calf.
Is heifer a masculine?
In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female. The noun heifer is a word for a female, a cow over one year of age that has not yet produced a calf.
