Formula
Interpret First day of the last observed estrus (heat) cycle as the explicitly labeled reproductive anchor date, add the model’s stated calendar interval or planning-window bounds in UTC, and report Broad planning window begins, Six-month planning estimate, Broad planning window ends; biological timing is not inferred.
Worked example
Worked example: Inputs: First day of the last observed estrus (heat) cycle: 2026-08-14. Outputs: Broad planning window begins: 2026-12-12; Six-month planning estimate: 2027-02-10; Broad planning window ends: 2027-08-14.
