How to record calving on DairyLogs

Record calving on a DairyLogs breeding service to close gestation, update fresh status, and enroll the calf when needed.

When a pregnant animal freshens, record calving on the breeding service. That closes expected calving alerts, updates reproduction status, and lets you add the calf to the herd.

Before you start

Service should be pregnant / past PD with an expected calving date.

Steps

Open the service: From Breeding overview calvings or Insemination, open the pregnant service for the dam.
Log calving: Enter calving date, ease/outcome notes, and calf details. Create the calf animal when she stays on the farm.
Verify herd and alerts: Confirm the dam’s status/fresh timing, the calf appears under Herd if enrolled, and calving-overdue notifications clear.

Tips

Assign the dam’s stall and start milk recording when she enters the parlor.
Stillbirths and twin outcomes should be noted so open days and genetics stay honest.
