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.
Switching from grass to corn and restricting its movements results in a cow reaching the 1200 pound slaughter weight in a little over a year. Today the CAFO cows are ready for slaughter at the ripe old age of 14 to 16 months. No one can say beef production isn't efficient.
