Since Brahmans are the latest maturing breed of all the breeds in North America, most heifers don't reach puberty until they're around 18 to 20 months of age. Bulls won't reach puberty until they're around 16 to 18 months of age. They are able to breed once they have passed this age-point of sexual maturity.
