The vast majority of calves won't be of age to be bred or considered ready to be bred. By the time these calves are ready to be bred they are no longer considered or even called calves. A heifer is ready to be bred by the time she's 15 months of age. Bulls are ready to be bred by the time they are around 12 months of age. But note that sexual maturity differs with every breed, most notably between Jerseys and Brahman cattle.
