Breeding planning: mating groups, calendar & fertility
Mating groups in one pass, the vet visit on a single screen, a breeding calendar with a year band, and herd fertility figures.

Breeding gains five new tools -- built for farms with natural service, mating groups and alpine summering.
Mating groups
- One sire, many dams, one mating period instead of fifty individual entries
- Every animal gets its own due date from species and breed -- a mixed group is not averaged into one date
- Animals with a running mating are flagged and skipped by "select all", so no duplicates appear
- For sheep and goats Herdy warns when the group outgrows the sire (BGK/SSPR reference figures)
Pregnancy examination for several animals
- The whole vet visit on one screen: one examination date, one row per animal
- Everything loads up front -- you can record without signal in the barn and save afterwards
- For sheep and goats, record the number of foetuses for your feeding groups
- Scanning an ear tag jumps to the matching row
- "Unclear" no longer fizzles out: Herdy schedules a re-check automatically
Breeding calendar
- Month view with recorded events and expected dates -- solid means it happened, outlined means it is expected
- Cycle band per mating: service, check windows and due date on one timeline
Year band & backwards planner
- Mating period, birth window, alpine season and actual births stacked -- so you can see how compact your lambing was
- Backwards planner: "lambing should start on 15 March" -- Herdy works out when the sire has to go in, and warns about season conflicts
- Print view for the lambing plan on the barn wall
Fertility figures
- Age at first calving, calving interval, pregnancy rate, offspring per birth, stillbirth rate
- Pregnancy rate per sire -- an empty sire costs a whole season, and nothing else reveals him
- Every figure names its sample. If it is too small, Herdy shows no value, but how far off it is
- Reference values from Mutterkuh Schweiz, Swissgenetics, BGK/SSPR, SSZV and FiBL sit alongside
