Breeding window and fair planner

For goats and sheep, calculate a planning window from a known breeding date. A calendar cannot confirm pregnancy or predict an individual birth.

Enter a known breeding date.

Penn State lists goat gestation as 145-155 days and sheep as 144-147 days. These are broad educational reference ranges, not an assurance of normal pregnancy. Exposure over several days adds uncertainty. Talk to your veterinarian about pregnancy and a care plan.
