This is an Excel spreadsheet with all the listed calculators (the planting and feed ration calculators are still in process, but are usable). There is an "Index" sheet then one calculator page. If you see an error PLEASE let me know. I will be adding things and correcting any issues periodically so be sure to check back often. Watch the "Version" in the upper corner of the pages. You want to make sure if you download it to your computer that you have the most recent version.

(will open an Excel spreadsheet)
| Goat Gestation Calculator | Figures 145, 150 and 155 day gestations when you enter a known breeding date. |
| Cow Gestation Calculator | Figures 278(Jersey), 283 and 292(Brahma) day gestation when you enter a known breeding date. Also gives a recommended "dry off" date. A dry off date is the date you should begin drying off a lactating cow before scheduled calving. |
| Dog Gestation Calculator | Figures a 63 day gestation when you enter a known breeding date. |
| Pig Gestation Calculator | Figures a 115 day gestation when you enter a known breeding date. |
| Chicken Gestation Calculator | Figures a 21 day incubation period when you enter a known start of incubation date. |
| Duck Gestation Calculator | Figures a 25 and 35 day incubation period when you enter a known start of incubation date. |
| Rabbit Gestation Calculator | Figures a 30 day gestation period as well as gives you a 5 day "time to put in the nest box" date and a "time to rebreed" date if no kits born |
| Planting calculator | Based on the first and last expected frost dates in your area (link to find the dates in your area is included), it figures best dates to start seeds indoors or to plant outside as well as what the latest you would want to plant outside. It is based on generic germination and days to maturity numbers, however you can change these numbers (germination and days to harvest) based on your particular seeds. (NOTE: green houses, hot houses etc are not taken into consideration) |
| Average Daily Gain Calculator | Figures current ADG of an animal based on the following information you enter: Birthdate of animal, birthweight of animal, and current weight of animal. |
| Raw Feeding Calculator | Just a VERY basic raw feed calculator to get an idea of how many pounds (or ounces) your animal may need per day, week and year. You will need to enter the weight of your animal. The base percentage of feed per weight of animal can be modified (higher for thin or lactating animals or lower for inactive or overweight animals) Also includes a bone ratio chart (bone to meat ratio in many common feeds) |
| Goat Weaning Calculator | Figures tentative weaning dates (8, 10, 12 weeks) when you enter a birthdate. |
| Rabbit Weaning Calculator | Figures tentative weaning date (6 weeks) when you enter a birthdate and also figures in a rebreeding date of the doe. |
| Pig Weaning Calculator | Figures tentative weaning dates (6 and 8 weeks) when you enter a birthdate. |
| Dog Weaning Calculator | Figures weeks in age of pups along with a tentative shot, deworming and weaning schedule when you enter a known birthdate. |
| Feed Ration Calculator | ** STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION** Figures Crude protein, Calcium to Phosphorus ratio and total digestable nutrution when you input how many "parts" of each item your feed ration includes. For figuring "concentrates" only….not for a full feed ration calculator |
| Fodder Ration Calculator | Figures an approximate amount of finished fodder to feed to most livestock. Also figures how much dry seed to start to achieve that goal. (Barley fodder) |
