[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1836532, member: 19683"] I just guess that cold might have caused ours to have longer gestations. The only difference from other seasons is that it is cold this year. All who calved are in good condition as all had a year off last year, due to our bull's fault and pure lim had dead twins. Feed could be even abit better than last year as they get more haylage than hay this winter. Some bulls have been used before and they had shorter gestation. Currently two other are also overbaking their calves. One on 294th day, another on 291st day. The first has tendency to have longer gestation herself, but the other doesn't and we had several calves from the same sire she's incalf to. Gonna see how the end result will look. We will have around 50 more calving this season. P.S. The huge cow actually seems to be preparing to calve sooner than her due date, which is common for blue breed. I would give her a week at max. Really want a heifer from her though... [/QUOTE]
