Anyone have longer than average Fat Butt gestation lengths? Our good cow, Bling, was due the 21st (285 days) and we are still waiting. She is 5 and has had 4 calves, all unassisted and raised them (one set of twins), so I know she can have a calf with no problem. I am just getting a bit worried. We had no breeding age bulls at that time, we AI'd her, and she was confirmed bred carrying a heifer calf at 70 days. So I am sure her due date is correct. All of her calves were pretty much on time or a few days early, except her second which was 3 days late (and a heifer).
Here is a picture of her taken Wednesday right before my daughter sheared her to make her more comfortable. She is bagged up and loose in the rear, so I know it is any day now, just hate waiting!
