Is there a breeding or gestation app out there?

Post by Rway » Sun Aug 10, 2014 9:13 pm

Looking for a good quality breeding / gestation app for android. Free would be great. I find myself flipping around a large cycle calendar and a large desk calendar making notes, and I figure there has to be an easier method.

We always just rip the calendar out of the back of Shipley's semen catalog and staple it to the calendar hanging in the barn.

That's funny. I already have the Shipley heat cycle calendar that is 2 foot by 3 foot or bigger already stretched out on the kitchen table next to my desktop calendar. Just figured there has to be an easier way to do this.

Just received info on the new GesDate program. Looks like everything I need. Not sure on the price. Not a large breeder so there needs to be a light version for us 10 and under sow breeders, although it looks like their is a small hog version for free that is limited to 3 sows. So I will try it.

I use app called date calculator. You can type date (mm/dd/yyyy) and add any amount of days, weeks or months.

Be careful if using Showtime's, their website has a typo and there is no July and 2 Augusts.
