Do all breeds of cows have the same gestational period?

There is some variation in gestation period for different breeds of cows, but not much. An all-breed average is about 283 days, with the breed-specific averages ranging from approximately 279-292 days. Individual animals may vary, however, and it is not unusual for a cow to deliver anytime between a couple of weeks before her due date to a couple of weeks after.
