Herdy/Changelog/Breeding Management & Weight Tracking

Breeding Management & Weight Tracking

Matings, births, pedigree, weight development, and tail lengths — the complete breeding module for targeted herd improvement.

Breeding Management & Weight Tracking

The new breeding module covers the entire reproductive cycle — from ram/buck assignment to the weight development of lambs and kids.

Matings & Births

  • Record matings with sire assignment, mating date, and automatically calculated expected birth date (approx. 150 days for sheep, 150 days for goats)
  • Document births with number of lambs/kids, birth progress (natural, assisted, caesarean), and direct linkage to pedigree
  • Dam and sire are automatically stored in the master data of the offspring

Pedigree

  • Display pedigree over multiple generations — from parents to great-grandparents
  • Clear presentation as a tree diagram directly in the animal profile
  • Quick navigation to related animals with a single click

Weight Development

  • Weight types: birth weight, weaning weight (approx. 90 days), and freely definable monthly weights
  • Daily gains are automatically calculated and displayed
  • Breed comparison: weight development of your own animals in the context of breed averages
  • Charts show the weight history per animal or per group over time

Tail Length Tracking

  • Record tail lengths as a breeding evaluation criterion
  • Document the history across multiple measurements
  • Overview per animal and as group statistics

Batch Weighing Sessions

  • Start a weighing session for an entire group or a freely selected set of animals
  • Select animals individually by ear tag number or quick search
  • Record weights in sequence — ideal when working with a livestock scale in the barn
  • Close the session and all weights are saved simultaneously
