TIP: Farm Stock

Track Due Dates using the Calendar

You can set the calendar to automatically show expected calving
dates based on information posted in the "Stats/Mating" tab.

Select Defined Events from the Add/Edit menu. In the Predefined Events, you can click on Service for the Predefined Event and then select Give Birth for the "This Event Triggers" and enter the proper number of days. If you are not sure of the number of days, check your records for that cow for the last couple of years and make a guess from that information.

Your calendar will now show expected births based on the mating date of all future matings that you enter into Farm Stock. Of course this only works if you do have mating dates for your cattle.
