[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1476828, member: 25884"] Seems I read somewhere that Lithuanian Farmer has had several go 300 days.... I would not panic til she gets close to the 18 days past the due date; if she is showing an udder and signs of being close. Any chance she was turned out with a bull as cleanup and maybe slipped the AI breeding? In the dairy cattle, different breeds are known to carry different; and between jerseys, often shorter gestation, to Brown swiss , often 5-10 days longer gestation than the average on the charts. You can always get the vet out to make sure the calf is in position. If she goes too far past they will induce labor if the size is getting way to big or do a c-section if it looks like she can't have it. But I would probably be getting her checked out in the next few days if no signs of calving. [/QUOTE]
