At what age do cows get pregnant?
Answers:
I think it depends on the breeding program. We breed our Holstein heifers between 24 and 27 months of age.
Under a normal breeding program young cows (heifers) are not bred until they are two years old, or very close. However, they can be bred at a much younger age if not kept properly separated from bulls.
They can get pregnant as early as 10 months. It's best to breed them at around 18 months.
Goats, I think around a yr maybe a little sooner, and I'm not sure about sheep, probably around a yr also.
Hope that helps.
Roughly 2 years
I THINK 25 TO 28 MONTHS
