She's already the right age to be pregnant, since a cow is a mature female that has had one or two calves already. If she's open and has been open at least 45 to 60 days after having her last calf and is showing signs of normal estrus, she can be bred to be pregnant again.
Angus bulls can reach sexual maturity by the time they are 6 to 8 months old, but are mostly allowed to breed the cow or heifer herd by the time they are yearlings or around 12 months of age.
Angus bulls reach maturity around 3 years of age.
Carcass maturity is at around 9 to 12 months of age. Adult maturity is reached at around 3 to 4 years of age.
Peak breeding ability would be around 2 to 5 years of age.
Holstein heifers can be bred at around 15 months of age. Bulls can be used for breeding by the time they reach around 12 months of age.
That depends on the breed. Usually heifers should be bred when they are between 15 and 18 months of age, and bulls can be used for breeding when they are around 10 to 14 months of age.
Often a bull should stop breeding either if he's too old and not fertile enough any more to be used, or if he's become too aggressive and dominant with his handlers to be considered a keeper anymore. There really is no defined age when a bull should stop breeding.
Reindeer bulls typically begin breeding around the 1 1/2 year old mark.
Yes, if he's already reached puberty.
Bulls can become oxen when they get castrated and are trained to pull carts, wagons, plows, etc. However most breeding bulls stay bulls, and oxen are trained at a young age, when they are castrated when they are on their mommas and not yet trained as oxen.
Bulls can reach puberty by the time they are 8 months of age, but most are put in with the breeding herd by the time they are 12 months of age. Heifers reach puberty by the time they are 10 to 12 months of age, but most heifers are not bred until they are 15 months old. Of course the breed of the bulls and heifers depends on when they reach puberty and/or when they should be used for producing offspring.
The best thing to do is to change bulls every three breeding seasons (over a 2 year-period) to avoid inbreeding (i.e., the bull breeding with his daughters). A heifer, from birth, takes around 15 months to reach sexual maturity before she is ready to be bred. Between that time, you can breed your cows once (before the bull's heifers are born), then a second time (when the bull's daughters are around 2 months of age), and finally a third time to the heifer's dams that they have since been weaned off of a few months ago (heifers should be around 10 months of age by the third breeding season) before selling him and purchasing another bull to breed that bull's daughters. You will have to do the math and lay out the generations to see when and how your breeding program will work.
Becerristas, novice bullfighters, will fight becerros, or calves - animals less than 2 years of age. Novilleros, more advanced fighters, will fight novillos or bulls from 2-4 years of age. Full matadors fight toros that are at least 4 years old. Heifers are not fought but may be tested for bravery before they are used for breeding. This is done at the ganaderias, fighting bull ranches, but not in bullrings.
