Answer
Whatever animals are permissible to slaughter for Qurbaani is also permissible for Aqeeqah. For a bull to be slaughtered, it has to be 2 years old. If it is younger than 2 years, it will not be permissible for Aqeeqah. (Aap ke masaail vol.4 pg.227)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
