Accurately predicting due dates is vital for effective animal husbandry. Whether you're breeding cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, or horses, our Interactive Gestation Calculator helps you estimate birthing dates with ease.
Simply select your animal and breeding date—our tool does the rest!
How It Works
- Select Your Livestock Type – Choose cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, or other.
- Enter Breeding Date – Input the date of exposure or insemination.
- See the Result – The calculator uses species-specific average gestation periods to give you an estimated due date instantly.
Most livestock—like cattle and horses—have gestations around 283–292 days, while sheep (~150 days), goats (~150 days), pigs (~114 days), and horses (~340 days) differ slightly. Our calculator uses the most up-to-date averages for each species for optimal accuracy.

- Stay Prepared – Plan housing, vet care, and feed well in advance.
- Reduce Stress – Prevent surprises and ensure smooth birthing seasons.
- Improve Herd Health – Keep closer watch over animals nearing their due dates.
