[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1545286, member: 9096"] Everyone is talking about "early" and "late", and no one is giving actual gestation times.. Lets put some numbers to it My herd has an average gestation of 288 days, most bull calves go longer, 295 is about as high as I ever see barring a couple exceptions.. very few are born before 282 days, even on the first timers. Different cow families here have different typical gestation times.. Completely anecdotal evidence, but the cow family with the shortest gestation times is the one with the most miscarriages as well. I'm pretty good at keeping track of breeding dates.. there's always one or two cows that I don't catch, thankfully the bull doesn't miss them though. [/QUOTE]
