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 age should a heifer be taken away from a bull?

This is the wrong question to ask, actually. You should be more concerned about the age that you should put a heifer in with a bull to be bred, not when should a heifer be taken away from a bull. See the related question below, but generally, a heifer should be at least 15 months of age to be bred and be able to grow a calf in her. Now to really answer your question, the bull should be removed after a couple months of being in with the heifer[s].


What is the average weight of a 1 year old heifer?

A 12 month old heifer should be around 1000 lbs or more, depending on her breeding. Heifers that have the breeding of a heavier breed like Charolais can weigh around 1200 lbs at 12 months of age. Heifers of smaller breeds like Dexter or Jerseys, should weigh around 700 lbs at 12 months of age.


Can a jersey heifer be bred a 8 months of age?

Nope, this is much too young for her to be bred. You should wait until she's 15 months old in order to breed her. You can breed her a couple months earlier, but ideally, for her reproductive health and ability to be able to breed back and produce another calf, it's best if she's bred at 15 months of age.
