A female cow, also known as a heifer, typically reaches puberty around 6 to 12 months of age, depending on factors like breed, nutrition, and overall health. At this stage, she begins to exhibit estrous cycles, which indicate her readiness to breed. Signs of puberty include behavioral changes such as increased restlessness and mounting behavior, as well as physical changes like the development of the udder. Proper nutrition and management are essential to ensure she reaches puberty at an optimal age for breeding.
