01
Structured breeding event records
Record breeding events with dates and outcomes against the specific animal involved, building a real program history over time.
Breeding
Breeding history that stays with the animal, not a separate ledger.
Boma tracks breeding events and outcomes directly on each animal’s record, connected to reminders for pregnancy checks and calving, so the breeding program has a real, queryable history instead of a paper logbook.
Event-based
Each breeding event is a structured record, not a note in a logbook.
Reminder-connected
Pregnancy check and calving follow-ups generate as tracked reminders.
Reportable
Breeding activity feeds directly into farm reporting for program review.
Breeding
Breeding Timeline
Events, outcomes, and follow-ups in order
Breeding events sit on the animal’s own timeline, with related reminders for pregnancy checks and calving surfacing automatically.

What This Feature Does
In plain terms
Breeding Management gives farms a structured way to record breeding events and their outcomes against each animal, replacing the paper logbook or spreadsheet that most operations start with. A breeding event captures what happened and when, and stays attached to the animal’s record alongside its health and milk history.
Because breeding activity connects to reminders, key follow-up dates — a pregnancy check window, an expected calving date — do not depend on someone doing mental math from a logbook entry. The system can prompt the follow-up action at the right time instead of relying on a manager’s memory of when a breeding event happened months earlier.
Breeding activity also feeds directly into farm reporting, giving owners and managers a way to review program performance over a period — how many breeding events occurred, what the outcomes were — without manually compiling the answer from individual records.
Key Capabilities
What you actually get
Each capability below is available today inside Boma, not a roadmap promise. Together they form the working core of this feature.
02
Breeding history on the animal profile
Breeding events sit on the same timeline as an animal’s health and milk history, giving a complete operational picture in one place.
03
Connected pregnancy and calving reminders
Breeding events can generate related reminders for pregnancy checks and expected calving, keeping critical follow-up dates from being missed.
04
Calving outcome tracking
Calving events are recorded as part of the animal’s history, connecting breeding decisions to their eventual outcomes.
05
Breeding activity reporting
A dedicated breeding activity report summarizes events and outcomes over a chosen date range, supporting program-level review.
06
Role-appropriate entry
Recording breeding events follows the farm’s role permissions, keeping program data managed by the people responsible for it.
Why It Matters
The operational cost this feature actually removes
A breeding program is one of the highest-leverage parts of a livestock operation, and also one of the easiest to lose track of when it lives in a paper logbook. A missed pregnancy check window or a forgotten expected calving date can mean a preventable loss, and reconstructing program performance from scattered notes at review time is slow and unreliable.
Boma treats breeding as structured data connected to the same animal record and reminder system used everywhere else, so the program benefits from the same follow-through and reporting the rest of the farm gets — instead of being the one area still running on a separate paper process.
Fewer missed follow-up windows
Pregnancy check and calving reminders reduce reliance on remembering dates from a logbook.
Breeding history that survives staff turnover
Program history stays with the animal record, not with whoever kept the paper logbook.
Real visibility into program performance
Breeding activity reports make it possible to review outcomes over a period without manual compilation.
One record instead of a separate breeding ledger
Breeding data sits alongside health and milk history rather than in an isolated system.
Use Cases By Role
How each person on the farm actually uses this
Boma is built around real farm roles. Here is how this feature shows up differently depending on who is signed in.
Owner
Reviews breeding program performance for the season
An owner pulls a breeding activity report to see how many events occurred and what outcomes resulted, informing decisions about the coming season.
Manager
Tracks pregnancy check follow-ups across the herd
A manager relies on connected reminders to know which animals are due for a pregnancy check, rather than cross-referencing breeding dates manually.
Worker
Logs a breeding event in the field
A worker records a breeding event directly from mobile at the time it happens, rather than writing it down for someone to transcribe later.
Vet
Reviews breeding history before a fertility consultation
A vet advising on a fertility issue reviews the animal’s breeding history directly on its profile, alongside relevant health context.
Admin
Confirms breeding reminders are connected correctly
A platform admin supporting onboarding can verify that a farm’s breeding events are generating the expected pregnancy check and calving reminders.
How It Works
Step by step, in practice
Breeding activity moves from event to outcome along a connected, trackable path.
- 1
A breeding event is recorded
The event is logged against the specific animal, with the relevant date captured at the time.
- 2
Follow-up reminders are created
Pregnancy check and expected calving reminders can be generated in connection with the breeding event.
- 3
Follow-through happens on schedule
The assigned team member completes pregnancy checks as reminders come due, keeping the process on track.
- 4
The outcome is recorded
Calving or other outcomes are logged, closing the loop on the original breeding event.
- 5
The record feeds program-level reporting
Completed events roll into breeding activity reports, supporting review of program performance over time.
Data & Control
Who can see it, who can change it, and who is accountable for it
Breeding records are scoped to the farm that created them, isolated from other tenants at the database level like every other record type on the platform.
Because breeding data lives on the same animal record used across health and milk modules, there is no separate breeding database with its own access rules to configure — the farm’s existing role permissions apply consistently.
Farm-level isolation
Breeding records are only visible within the farm that created them.
Unified with the animal record
No separate breeding database means no separate permission model to maintain.
Reminder-linked accountability
Follow-up work tied to a breeding event is assignable and trackable like any other reminder.
Attributed entries
Every breeding event and outcome is tied to the user who recorded it.
Business Outcomes
What changes operationally once this is in place
These are the practical shifts farms describe once the feature is part of daily use, not a marketing estimate.
Fewer missed pregnancy checks
Connected reminders reduce reliance on remembering dates from a paper logbook.
Real program-level visibility
Breeding activity reports make performance review possible without manual compilation.
Breeding history that survives turnover
Program history stays attached to the animal record rather than one person’s notes.
Clear follow-up ownership
Reminders assign pregnancy check and calving follow-up to a specific person.
Questions
Common questions about this feature
Specific answers for teams evaluating whether this part of Boma fits how the farm actually runs.
Does recording a breeding event automatically create reminders?
Breeding events can be connected to pregnancy check and calving reminders, helping ensure key follow-up dates are tracked rather than relying on manual calculation.
Can we see breeding history for a specific animal over its lifetime?
Yes. Breeding events for an animal remain on its profile timeline alongside its health and milk history, giving a complete view over time.
How does breeding activity reporting work?
The breeding activity report summarizes events and outcomes for a chosen date range, generated directly from recorded events rather than a manually maintained summary.
Who is allowed to record breeding events?
Recording breeding events follows the farm’s role permissions, so access can be limited to the roles responsible for the breeding program.
Is breeding data separated from general animal records?
No. Breeding events live on the same animal record used across the platform, so there is no separate system to keep in sync with the rest of the farm’s data.
