Calving

Calving heifers before the age of two not only results in more calves throughout the cow's lifetime but also shortens the generation gap, leading to quicker genetic improvements.

Smaller calves are less likely to experience birthing complications, reducing the need for assistance, helping cows recover faster. This results in a tighter calving interval and more evenly spread calving in the following season.

Taking the time to input precise data regarding calving guarantees the accuracy and depth of the analytics and reports generated, enabling you to make strategic choices that optimize your herd's overall health and productivity.


To get the most out of Breedr, there are a few things to log when calving:

  1. Record births in the Breedr app, and document calving performance and birthing vigor for each birth.

  2. Enter calf weights in Chute Mode.

  3. Log medicines in the app.

  4. Track progress using the Calving Log Report and Birth Forecast Report.
