No, unless the average weight of the main cowherd is 1000 lbs, which then the heifer is 60% of the average cowherd weight. But, if the average mature weight of your herd is a bit higher, then definitely not, as she is obviously too young and too light to be bred. If she's bred already, inject some Lutalyse in her NOW.
Young heifers, as in heifers that are younger than 6 months of age, should NEVER be bred to calf, as this is much too young for them and too hard on their growing bodies. The youngest a heifer can be bred at is when they are 15 months old. Most heifers reach puberty by the time they are 11 or 12 months old, but shouldn't be bred until they are either 60% or 70% of the average weight of the main cowherd, or reach 15 months of age. Most of the time it is the weight that many cattle producers rely on for best calf production of the heifers, as sometimes a heifer that reaches 15 months of age is still too small to be bred.
A virgin sheep has been referred to as a "gel" representing an "Angel". Gel is the answer.
There really isn't a specific age when a heifer is too old to be bred. However, past five to seven years of age can be considered "too old" to get her bred. And yet, you still can get her bred if you use a really calving-ease (and proven) bull on her, just like you would with 15 month old heifers.
Goats can typically breed starting at around 7-9 months of age. It is recommended to breed goats during their breeding season, which varies depending on the breed but generally occurs in the fall or winter months. Breeding goats too young or too old can have negative effects on their health and the health of the offspring.
A goat.
I do not think anythinng happens.
no If the young kid got too close to the turkey's nest it is possible.

Is your goat too fat? if so then yes, you need anorexia. badly. poor goat :(
They can't be bred to one another. They are genetically too dissimilar.

Yes. It is a very common form of discrimination. It often happens to people when they are too old or too young.

The two species are too diverse to mate and produce young.
