Make the record useful in daily work.
Good farm record keeping makes the next action clear without creating duplicate paperwork. Start with active animals and cycles, then let the history grow from normal work.
- Animal identity, status and cage
- Pedigree and source information
- Breeding cycles and litter outcomes
- Weights, health events, income and expenses
Start with the date and keep the outcome.
Use a consistent process, then record what actually happened. Over time, those connected records make planning more reliable than memory or disconnected spreadsheets.
