[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13912"] The average gestation period for cattle is 283 days. Some breeds don't take so long, others take longer a few days longer. Several things affect how soon she cycles after calving. If she is a first calf heifer, she may take longer to cycle than a mature cow, if she's in poor body condition, if she had a difficult time having the calf. So it's hard to say how long before she cycles. Generally, we like to see our cows cycling 35-45 days after they calve. > I am new at raising longhorns and > would like to know how long the > gestation period is, and how soon > after they have calf, do they come > into estress?
