No. Most heifers haven't even reached puberty at that age, much less are even large enough to be bred to. And even if a heifer has reached puberty at that age, her pelvic area and body size is still too small to be able to be bred at that age. You MUST give her more time to grow (another 7 or 8 months is highly recommended) before you can breed her.

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.

This depends on the breed and environmental and nutritional factors.

The oldest a heifer be to reach puberty is 12 to 14 months.

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.
