How does a 7.5-month gestation compare to a 9-month gestation in cattle?

∙ 10y ago
Seven-and-a-half months of gestation is much too early for cattle. Calves born at this age are deemed premature and their chances of survival are quite slim because they are not quite fully developed. It is much better to let a cow carry a calf to full term (which is more like 9.5 months rather than 9 months exactly) than to force her to abort a calf too early and risk the calf's survival.

Is rate of maturity correlated with age of puberty and gestation period in cattle?
No. Rate of maturity is more to do with growth and the time when an animal's body begins to lay down fat instead of muscle: it has nothing to do with puberty nor length of gestation. Originally it was believed that the rate an animal matured, be it early, moderate or late, did affect age of puberty and/or gestation length. But new research has found that the rate of maturity of growth or rate of growth in cattle has no effect on puberty nor gestation length. Gestation period is affected by genetics and the body condition of the cow or heifer. The length of gestation is highly heritable, as is age of puberty or fertility rates.
