However, all this depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some breeds that are later maturing (typically Continentals), like Charolais, Simmental, Limousin or Salers, won't start showing puberty until they're around 12 to 16 months of age.
At 8 months of age, a buckling can serve a small number of females in a herd. At two years of age, bucks are considered adults capable of serving a large number of does in heat. In general, a good herd sire should be selected based on structural and breeding soundness.
