Experienced dairymen warn against breeding heifers too young. Premature breeding yields undersized animals with reduced milk capacity and weakened vitality. Holsteins need 19 to 29 months, Ayrshires 18 to 20, Guernseys 17 to 19, and Jerseys 15 to 17 months, with calves not allowed before these ages.
