just wanted to mention that the three 3 rules is for females. Males can breed younger. The thought is, though that the younger the male is, the lower the fertility percentage or sperm count.
With females, early breeding can be dangerous and can stunt their growth. With males, it is not something that is dangerous for them. Although, some do believe that a corn that is never bred will grow larger than one that is bred or bred early. Not sure if that is proven or not, though.
My thoughts on the size of the female is, if you are in doubt, it is better to hold off for the next season. Better safe than sorry!!
