A few days one way or the other doesn't matter. Try it using today's date and see what you come up with, and compare to a breeding calculator....I did before I posted.M-5":3338lwgo said:are those months 30 days 31 days or 28 days (feb) and every 4 years how do you handle the 29days in feb ??

I use the Select Sires calendar that provides the due date based on the average 283 day gestation period.

I use cattlemax. Since it was improved and has to done online I find the Excel way easier and quicker to access on the desk top1982vett":1gadwusb said::yuck: Since I use CattleMax....when a cow has a calf I use that date a year away for her to calve again.....anything that goes longer than that is noticed and better straighten up next time.
