[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 284802, member: 539"] If you want to keep the same calving schedule - decide what day you want to start, count back 9 months and a few days, and that's when you put the bull in with them (keeping in mind that a cow can vary up to about 10 days, either direction, for actual calving date). You might think about checking with your local large-animal vet, and feed/supply companies, too, because a lot of times they have these handy dandy little pocket sized books to record calving/cow/feed/bcs/health/etc info, and they also contain a gestation table. If you're looking to move your calving schedule - I wouldn't do it all in one year, especially with heifers. I would spread it over at least two years, maybe 3 depending on the time of year, climate, forage, management, condition of the heifers, and other factors that I have probably not mentioned. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
