Record Keeping

[Livinwright Farm]

Here's the form that I use.

I took a basic animal record form and modified it to what I wanted. It's a word file so feel free to make changes for yourself.

I keep in a binder with numbered tabs and each goat is assigned a tab number. It's nice to be able to add pages as you need to continue that goat's records too.

I like that better than mine... I might just switch. Thanks.

I also use this spreadsheet for tracking heat cycles:

I couldn't really find anything that worked for me, as everyone has different needs, so I spent yesterday making some up. Most are really simple, just made with tables in Open Office, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I made the following record sheets. Barn Notes, Buck Record Sheet, Doe Record Sheet, 2 year Doe Heat.Breeding.Kidding Record sheet, Goat Health records, Goat Supply and Feed Ledger, and Milking records.

If you would like to see what I made, send me a private message with your email address and which ones you'd like to see and I'll send them to you.

The goat record form I'm using is in Microsoft Word and it can be downloaded from this site: http://www.betterhensandgardens.com/2011/04/20/goat-health-record-form-downloadable/
It can be easily modified to fit other breeds/situations.

I use Kintraks for my rabbitry. You can set up a database for each species (cat, dog, goat, etc). It is really nice. You can track owner, breeder, pedigree, health, show awards, and much more.

I find it very easy to use. You can get a free version that will record up to 60 animals to try the program. The full version is $20 US so not expensive.
