Youngfarmer2019 2024 buy-sell journal

[Youngfarmer2019]

I’ve been severely delayed in making this, I REALLY need this to help me keep track of what my herd changes have been like this year and specifics in money. I’m going to put down everything I’ve already bought or sold starting Jan 1st, 2024. I’m still building my foundation herd (and possibly flock of sheep) so I expect to SPEND a lot more than I’ll SAVE this year, which is fine… I’m prepared for that.

For keeping track of expense info you can make up your written pages in a note book with an envelope taped into the back for receipts.
This is a nice easy style to start with….

Organization! I’m so proud of you! Gotta keep up with feed and other expenses too.

My last year in Lindale, I finally cleared $2,000 above expenses. Then I sold farm, moved, bought farm, moved again. New farm needs everything. I’m gonna be in the hole for awhile, but my goal is to clear $5,000 to $10,000 a year.

Welcome to the world of insane crazy people!

YOU ARE A FARMER!

Feed I have written in a notebook as well as other expenses, etc. all money for that is kept separately

I have someone interested in trading the smaller ram lamb for a yearling ewe
This pic is her younger, she’s going to get me an updated one in the morning.

She is a looker! Love flashy color, wrapped around great conformation.
