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.
A herd sire or buck is the most important animal in the herd. The buck contributes 50 percent of the genetic makeup of every kid born and determines overall pregnancy rate of the herd. The choice of good breeding stock is an important factor and fundamental in a meat goat operation. A replacement herd sire or buckling can be selected from the contemp-orary at weaning (3 to 4 months of age) based on weaning weight. Subsequently, a post-weaning growth evaluation can be made by 6 to 8 months of age.
