[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 1412311, member: 969"] After being around cows for more years than I can imagine, the only thing for sure about calving and breeding dates is that the calendar doesn't mean diddly when calf parts start coming out of the cow. Had one last night that I saw bred on July 30th and the vet guessed her due date as May 6th. Heifer didn't care what the calendar said and she delivered an 80lb heifer calf last night. I've also had cows that I didn't know for sure when they were due make me sure that every day for 3 weeks was going to be the day. Had cows look they were going to pop hold off and deliver weeks after a cow who looked like she wasn't even bred. Maybe I need to hang a calendar and a mirror up by the water tanks so the cows can keep track. [/QUOTE]
