About Breeding Timing

Proper breeding timing is crucial for successful cattle reproduction and herd management. This calculator helps ranchers and livestock professionals plan breeding activities to achieve optimal calving dates that align with their management goals.

Factors like weather conditions, feed availability, and market timing often influence when you want calves to be born. By working backwards from your desired calving date, you can determine the ideal breeding window for your cattle.

Planning Tips:

• Consider seasonal weather patterns when choosing calving dates
• Plan breeding to avoid extreme weather during calving
• Account for feed availability during late pregnancy and early lactation
• Factor in market timing for optimal calf sales
