How to Tell when a Cow or Heifer is in Estrus. Estrus is defined as the period where a female (in this case, a cow or heifer) is receptive to a male (or, the bull). Estrous, on the other hand, is the whole reproductive heat cycle that a female goes through, from heat period to no heat period (Proestrus, Estrus, Metestrus, and Diestrus).
Heat Cycle Indicates When to Breed. Simply put, estrus is a bitch's fertile time, generally referred to as a heat cycle or season. The first heat cycle typically takes place between six and nine months old, but breeds that mature more slowly may not experience a first heat until twelve to eighteen months of age.
