There is no such cattle breed as a "Dutch Bleed", so the question has no merit.
The breeding (or rutting) season for buffalo generally begins in June. The gestation period for buffalo is about the same as for beef cattle, 287 days.

One. Twins occur in one out of 1000 births.
The length of gestation of a Nguni is quite variable depending on where it's raised and the producer raising them. According to the Nguni Cattle Breeders' Society By-laws, Nguni cattle are allowed to have a minimum gestation period of 266 days and a maximum period of 308 days. See the related link below.
Since Speckle Park cattle are generally early-maturing, the gestation period would typically be around 275 to 285 days in length.
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.

Here are the following breeds that typically have long (290-300 day) gestation periods:Blonde d' AquitaineCharbrayCharolaisChianinaIndu-Brazil (Zebu)LimousinMarchigianaSimbrahTexas LonghornScottish HighlandFlorida Cracker/PineywoodsCorriente
The gestation period for a cow is 285 days. For a goat, it's 150 days. Pigeons do not have gestation periods because they do not give birth to live young: they lay eggs, like any other bird. Thus, the incubation period for a pigeon is 17 to 19 days.
The following breeds have a short gestation period (note that not all breeds with short gestation periods will be listed here):AngusDexterGuernseyJerseyMeuse Rhine IsselRed AngusSpeckle ParkIt was originally believed that rate of maturity was correlated with rate of gestation. This is now not the case. Rate of maturity is simply carcass maturity, or the time when an animal starts to lay down fat, and has nothing to do with age of puberty nor gestation length.
Limousin are selected to have long gestation periods, which is around 290 to 300 days (or more) in length.
