[QUOTE="got_cows?, post: 219892, member: 2473"] cfpinz - The Limousin epds used to contain a gestation length but they replaced it with a calving ease epd. I went back and looked at my notes and I don't think the gestation was any longer than any other year. Had a few go 5-6 days late but most were either 1-2 days late, on time or even early. Although I do have one 1700 lb. cow that was due 4-27 and she still hasn't calved. Think of the size of that calf. Ugh. :( Our bred cows are fed hay from the time they come off pasture in the fall until they calve. Maybe our hay was really good last year?? We did hay a couple of new fields last summer. The bull had been used the year before on cross bred cows and those people didn't have overly large calves. The mystery continues. ;-) [/QUOTE]
