Editing and Deleting a Breeding Record

You can update a breeding record to correct details or add information, or delete it entirely if it was created by mistake.

How to Edit a Breeding Record

1. Navigate to the Breedings screen, or open the animal’s record and go to the breeding section.
2. Click on the breeding record you want to edit.
3. Update the fields as needed:
   • Breeding date or end date
   • Sire(s)
   • Breeding method
   • AI details (if applicable)
   • Monitoring flags (In Heat, Watch Close)
   • Comments
4. Click Save.

What Changes When You Edit

• Due date recalculates if you change the breeding date (breeding date + 283 days).
• Sire updates are reflected on any linked offspring records.
• The breeding status on the animal is not affected by edits unless the method or dates fundamentally change.

How to Delete a Breeding Record

1. Open the breeding record.
2. Click Delete.
3. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

What Happens When You Delete

• The breeding record is permanently removed.
• The animal’s breeding status resets to Open (if this was the only active breeding).
• Any linked pregnancy check data is also removed.

When to Delete vs. Mark No Calf

Tips

• Edit rather than delete and re-create. If you just need to correct a date or sire, editing preserves the record’s history.
• Prefer Mark No Calf for failed breedings. Keeping the record helps track breeding history and identify repeat breeders.
