Livestock and smallholding

Flock and herd records, medicine and movement books, and the application records that have to be produced when somebody asks.

Livestock paperwork is unusual among the records on this site: a good deal of it is a legal requirement rather than a good habit, and what is required differs by country, by species and by scheme. These sheets are working records built to sit alongside whatever your own authority demands. Not one of them prints a dose, a rate, a withdrawal period or an interval — every figure on them comes from the label, the vet or the rules where you keep animals.

Sheets in Livestock and smallholding

Sheep Flock Record

Keep the flock on paper, so that a ewe's history is something you can read at the handling pens rather than something you half remember.

LK-01 1 page

Cattle Herd Record

Hold the herd's detail in one legible place, so tags, parentage and movements can be read off a page instead of assembled from memory and text messages.

LK-02 1 page

Calving and Lambing Record

Record each birth while the detail is still exact, including the assistance and the losses, so next season is planned from what happened rather than what you recall.

LK-03 1 page

Animal Medicine Record

Keep a medicines book that answers the two questions that actually get asked: what went into which animals, and when they are clear.

LK-04 1 page

Livestock Movement Record

Keep your own copy of every movement on and off, with the reference numbers that make it possible to answer a question about a load six months afterwards.

LK-05 1 page

Spray and Fertiliser Application Record

Record applications properly at the time, including the conditions, so the record stands up when a buyer, an inspector or a neighbour asks about it.

LK-06 1 page

Pig Farrowing and Litter Record

Keep each sow's breeding history on one page, so decisions about which sows to keep are made from records rather than impressions.

LK-07 1 page

Pig Growth and Weight Record

Track weight gain against feed, so you know what a finished pig actually costs you and whether a batch is doing what it should.

LK-08 1 page

Body Condition Score Record

Record condition scores consistently over a year, so changes are visible at the points in the cycle where they matter.

LK-09 1 page

Goat Kidding Record

Record each kidding on the day, including the assistance and the losses, so next season is planned from what happened.

LK-10 1 page

Goat Milk Yield Record

See which does actually milk well across a whole lactation rather than on the days you happened to notice.

LK-12 1 page

Dairy Milk Yield Record

Record yields per animal daily, with the notes that turn an unexplained drop into an early warning.

LK-13 1 page

Egg Production Record

Track lay across a month so a drop shows up as a pattern, with the conditions that usually explain it recorded alongside.

LK-14 1 page

Poultry Flock Register

Keep a register of birds on the holding, with the movements that anyone asking about disease or provenance will want to see.

LK-17 1 page

Coop Cleaning and Bedding Record

Keep the cleaning round on a dated record, with the red mite check that is easy to skip and expensive to skip twice.

LK-18 1 page

Predator and Loss Incident Record

Turn a run of losses into a visible pattern, because predation almost always repeats at the same hour and the same weak point.

LK-20 1 page

Hoof Trimming and Foot Care Record

Record foot problems by animal so that the repeat offenders become obvious, which is the single most useful thing a lameness record does.

LK-24 1 page

Shearing and Fleece Record

Record what came off and what it was worth, which is the only way to know whether wool covers the cost of shearing.

LK-25 1 page

Tupping and Scanning Record

Record which ram covered which group and when, so scanning results and lambing dates can be worked out rather than guessed.

LK-26 2 pages

Feed Ration and Cost Record

Record what each group is fed and what feed actually costs across a year, which is usually the largest bill on a smallholding.

LK-27 2 pages

Grazing and Paddock Rotation Plan

Track rest as well as grazing, because the rest period is the part of rotational grazing that actually does the work and the part nobody records.

LK-28 1 page

Hay, Straw and Forage Stock Record

Know in October whether the forage will last until spring, instead of finding out in February when everyone else has sold theirs.

LK-29 2 pages

Breeding and Bloodline Record

Hold a pedigree on paper so breeding decisions and registrations can be made without reconstructing three years of matings from memory.

LK-31 1 page

Weaning Record

Record weaning properly, because the age and weight it happened at explains a lot of what the group does afterwards.

LK-32 1 page

Mortality and Fallen Stock Record

Record deaths and their disposal, which is both a legal requirement in many places and the record that reveals a pattern nobody had noticed.

LK-33 1 page

Farm Visitor and Biosecurity Log

Keep the visitor record that matters when disease is traced, and make the boot dip a thing that is recorded rather than assumed.

LK-34 1 page

Farm Assurance Evidence Index

Turn an assessment into a walk to a folder, by writing down in advance where every required record actually lives.

LK-35 1 page

Water Trough and Supply Check

Record the water round, which is the one daily job where a missed fault becomes an emergency within hours.

LK-36 1 page

Barn and Housing Cleaning Record

Record cleaning and disinfection properly, with the contact time and rest period that decide whether it achieved anything.

LK-38 1 page

Smallholding Daily Chore Round

Get the daily round out of your head and onto a page, so a neighbour, a relative or a sitter can keep the holding running while you are away.

LK-40 1 page

Apiary Queen and Colony Register

Keep track of queen age and origin across an apiary, which explains most of what a colony does and is almost never written down.

LK-42 1 page

Goose and Waterfowl Care Record

Record the daily round for ducks and geese, whose water needs and predator risk are both different from chickens.

LK-43 1 page

Alpaca and Llama Care Record

Record weights and condition regularly, because a fleece hides both loss and gain until it is serious.

LK-44 1 page

Lamb Growth Record

Measure growth to weaning against the ewe that reared it, which is the fairest test of a breeding ewe there is.

LK-45 1 page
