Ya, Mr Murphy's Law got overruled for once. May 17th.




Bull in May 17th means first calf due Feb 17th, don't give a damn what any fancy gestation calc's say. Sounds like they are right on time.

Mine went in May 25th and I expect my first calves in 5-6 days.


That has always been the way it works here too. Sounds like they showed up when they were suppose to.


I have always worked on a 285 day calendar for Simmi's. When we use RA bulls they will come before the Simmi's, RA gestation in my herd is kinda all over the board. 90 percent of early calves are usually heifer calves. Twins are always early. One year 6 of the first 12 cows calved had twins. Mostly our young cows that are "early", but any of the older cows 3rd calf and up don't ussually really get going until about 287 days. Just my experience.
