Add to ORKGBecause decisions about selecting and managing replacement beef heifers can affect the future productivity of an entire cowherd, programs to develop breeding heifers have focused on the physiological processes that influence puberty. The timing of puberty is critical to whether a heifer remains in the herd and whether lifetime productivity is optimized. Age at puberty can be decreased in three ways: n by selecting a breed with a younger age at puberty, n by selecting within a breed for younger age at puberty, or n by crossbreeding with another breed that has a similar or younger age at puberty
