Cows holding out

Alright...this seems weird, but I'll throw it out. Our farm, along with a friend who has cattle about fifteen minutes from us, feel like our cows are holding out on us for some reason. We've had cows bagging and backends stretched for almost a month now. We AI'd a handful, no one caught, and then threw the bull out on them the middle of last July. Dare we palpate one of them to see what's going on? I thought for sure with our full moon on the 25th that we would have had some babies for sure. We aren't going to see any major weather changes or another full moon for awhile either, so I, myself, am getting a little antsy. Any thoughts?  ???

Thy will get here when they get here and not a minute before. Patience is a virtue. I have some just like them.

If you didn't turn the bull out until the middle of July and they bred the first day, they're only over due by a few days right now. I understand being anxious to meet the new calf crop, but you have to be patient. If you breed them, they will come.
