[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1667344, member: 38590"] There really isn't anything to explain, because cows calving two weeks before their "due" date has always been normal. Think of that date as the average of when cows bred on a certain day will calve, not the day when they should all be ready. Some cows will be as much as two weeks shorter, and some will be two weeks longer. With selection for calving ease (which is really just selection for shorter gestation), it's pretty normal for most cows to be calving well before what the textbook would call their due date.
