[O] several sub-TODOs with shifted date possible with a single custom-co

Hallo,

I started a few weeks ago to use org-mode for my special usecase, so iam still 
very new to all of the features of org-mode. After a steep learningcurve to the 
very beginning its working for me rather well. (thx to all the docu and 
tutorials) Iam a farmer, and my intention of the use of org-mode is to do the 
timeplaning for all my cows with it. 

My setup so far is, every cow to a single .org file with all the 
todo/done-tasks in it and then generate a weekly agenda out of it. So i have in 
all the different files the same or very similar type of TODOs. That gets me to 
two adds i wanted to have:

1) I have TODOs with several sub-TODOs of the same type but time shifted, 
looking like this:

<Name of cow>
...
** DONE insemination <DATE>
*** TODO heat check <DATE +3weeks>
*** TODO heat check <DATE +6weeks>
*** TODO pregnancy check 
    SCHEDULED: <DATE +7weeks>
*** TODO stop milking
    SCHEDULED: <DATE +225days>
*** TODO expected birth <DATE +285days >
    SCHEDULED: <DATE +280days>

The way i found to add all of this at once is, to do a clone subtree with 1 and 
x-days time shift to set the new <DATE> an add it to the needed place with 
normal emacs text copy commands. But it would be real great to add all of this 
over a single command, like adding a schedule task with asking for the date and 
all the sub-TODOs withe its dates calced correct. Would be great to somehow 
have a function with all of this. Has anyone already programmed something 
similar like that? Have not found anything in the docu, faq, ... but maybe it 
was just my blindness?

2) I would really like to use the MobileOrg app on my android phone with this. 
But on the phone i can't see the context of a todo-task. In the normal emacs 
agenda i see the filename (=name of the cow) and the days I am past of some 
schedule-start. Any hints how i could get that context visible at the MobileOrg 
agenda-view too?

thx a lot
Markus
