Yes, I know, I know...2019 is almost over. But I've designed some breeding calendars for the remainder of the year, and 2020 calendars are in currently in the works.
Many breeders follow the moon when they plan their breeding schedules. Rumor has it that you breed during a full moon for more does in a litter or breed on a new moon for more bucks, and while a lot of people think it to be an old wives' tale, the studies that have been done are truly fascinating . I encourage you to do your own research and read up on the studies for yourself, but the calendars I've created will hopefully guide anyone that's wanting to dig into moon-phase breeding a little deeper or experiment on their own.
There is another breeding calendar out there from Bunny Rabbit that is based off of astrological signs if that's more what you're looking for, but I created my calendar based off of the full moon/new moon, various astrological happenings (such a eclipses, meteor showers, etc), the Farmer's Almanac, and have also included breeding reminders to have litters due on holidays (such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc).
So, below you will find 4 printable calendars for the remainder of 2019 and be on the look out for the collection of 12 calendars for 2020 as soon as I can get them finished.
If anyone has any suggestions for things they'd like to see or corrections for mistakes you notice, please don't hesitate to reach out!
