[QUOTE="dun, post: 37697, member: 34"] Red Poll and Herefords are about the same size as Angus. Although the tables show 283 for Angus, the 283 I stated was also from the MARC study. Our Red Angus sired calves are usaully right at 283-284 days. But heifers it's alwasy a crapshoot. We've found that generally if calves come early from a couple of cows/heifers that the majority of them will be early, late works the same way. Although this year we had them everywhere from 14 days early to 13 days late. But the majority were right at 283-284, even the Hereford sired calves. Also, it seems that calving ease bulls tend to have slightly shorter gestation then the larger birth weight bulls. But that's just anecdotal, I've never seen a study, just what seems to be the case for us. dun [/QUOTE]
