Heifer breeding age Post by theburrowfarm on Dec 30, 2012 18:47:18 GMT -5. She can go in to heat as early as 4 months .You should wait till she is 14 months to breed her . Post by Dahdo on Dec 30, 2012 21:54:15 GMT -5. We just had our 8.5 month old heifer have her first heat. We had three similar aged bull calves in with her so I was a little worried. She had a second heat 17 days later which was a bit early, but it was a relief. You are right to keep them separated until she is at least 14 months.

Birth of the calf The birth process can be divided into three stages. 1  The muscles of the wall of the uterus begin to contract. 2  During this second stage, the calf enters the vagina causing stronger contractions from the diaphragm, abdominal muscles and uterus. 3  This final stage begins immediately after the calf has been expelled.

calf artificial feeding of calves includes liquid milk replacer and dry calf starter, the latter being provided from about one week of age. At 3 to 6 weeks the calf is able to exist solely on starter and the milk replacer or milk can be discontinued. Calf starters vary a great deal in composition, quality and price.

How to Care for a Dog in Heat Overview. A bitch generally has her first estrus season, or heat, at between 6 and 12 months of age, most commonly between 8 and 10 months. Mating will produce a litter at this age, but she is immature, so it is important to guard against that potential.

Introduction Calves can be ready for weaning by 3 to 4 weeks of age; however, in Penn State studies calves weaned at 3 weeks required extra attention. The increased time and labor required to get these calves eating starter suggest that waiting until 4 weeks of age would be prudent.alves weaned at 3 weeks were fed exactly the same in these two trials. In addition, calves were fed a high quality, free-choice calf starter (22% protein on a dry matter basis) with special attention to assisting calves to eat if they had not begun consuming starter by 5 days of age.

What is the breeding age of a bull? A bull will often reach puberty by the time he's around 12 months of age (some a little sooner, if the herd's a good fertile herd), and by this time, as a Yearling Bull, he is ready to be used on heifers or sold to another producer's farm or ranch to be used on the heifers and cows there.

- Heat (estrus) is simply the period of time when a cow or heifer is sexually receptive and signals that an egg, ready to be fertilized, is about to be released. It normally occurs every 18 to 24 days. In a natural breeding program, the bull is the one that determines when a cow is in heat.

- Usually it's best to wait until they are at least 15 months of age before breeding. Even though the early maturing breeds do reach puberty by the time they are around 7 to 9 months of age, it is best to wait until they are around 13 to 15 months of age before you can breed them. You will always know when a heifer or cow is ready to be bred when they go into heat. 2  Normal estrus periods last 24 hours and occur between 17 to 24 days. 3  The better condition score a cow is after calving, the sooner she'll be ready to breed.

Dog Heat Cycle and Breeding The first heat cycle typically takes place between six and nine months old, but breeds that mature more slowly may not experience a first heat until twelve to eighteen months of age. Cycle Length A normal heat cycle lasts approximately three weeks. In the beginning stages, known as proestrus, a bitch's vulva begins to swell, and you may notice her licking herself more than usual. Male dogs will also begin sniffing her more as her hormones begin to produce a scent that signals she is becoming ready to breed. Stages of Heat

Calfhood Vaccinations Many producers don't give clostridial vaccines to calves until they are at least 3 to 4 months of age, and then we try to make sure they get a booster after that. If a herd has a history of problems in young calves, we recommend clostridial vaccines be given soon after birth, Alley says.accinating with these antigens should be discussed with your veterinarian before using them in young calves. As long as the passive transfer is still strong, the calf may not build its own immunity. Some vaccines have been shown to provide some immunity at an early age, even in the presence of maternal antibodies.

- Calves should be completely weaned off milk at 8-10 weeks. It is a good idea to increase their interest in grass and concentrates. Calves must have water. Calves will begin to drink water between their feeds of milk from one to two weeks of age.Lack of water will cause the death of a calf faster than the lack of any other nutrient. By six weeks of age, a calf may be drinking abut four litres of water per day.Only clean, fresh drinking water must be given.igure 4. The calf s first feed of colostrum is essential within five hours of birth For the first couple of days the calf can stickle the cow as and when it wants. During this time the colostrum (which is the first milk) is not suitable for human consumption and should not be sold.

- During their first month, calves are most comfortable at temperatures between 55 and 70°F. Cold stress in these calves can occur when temperatures remain below 50°F. Between one month and weaning, the comfort zone is much wider and includes temperatures from 46 to 80°F.

Early Weaning Beef Calves By the time calves are 3 to 4 months of age, they are consuming significant amounts of forage. At 6 to 7 months of age, calves will consume approximately half the amount of forage as a mature cow. Following weaning, dry cows will eat less forage than lactating cows, further reducing demand placed on the pasture.

- In May 2004, first-calf heifers in a dairy with 650 milking cow Holsteins experienced an outbreak of late third-trimester abortions and premature live births with skeletal and neurologic deformities. Over a 4-week period, 19 of 37 heifers in their last month of gestation aborted or gave birth to calves approximately 2-4 weeks early. In the first week of May, 7 of 7 premature stillborn and live calves had notably shortened mandibles and appeared undersized for their age and development.

Specialists Provide Advice On Early Weaning Calves Some people feed the calves while others just wean them on pasture. Calves 4-5 months of age transition better, as they’re used to eating forage. Younger calves are trickier, but if you can meet the nutrient requirements of calves just 2-3 months old, they can be successfully weaned that young, Lardy adds.“If markets are good, some people sell 350- to 400-lb. calves as lightweight stockers early in the season.y weaning their calves early, nutrients are freed up for heifers to complete growth and have a healthy pregnancy,” Lardy says. Trey Patterson, chief operations officer for Padlock Ranch, Ranchester, WY, says they sometimes wean calves as early as four months old, mainly on first-calf heifers, but sometimes cows.
