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.

A free printable sheep record book page — one line per ewe covering tag, breeding, condition, lambing and treatments, with nothing prescribed.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
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.
Smallholders, hill and lowland flocks, pedigree breeders and anybody keeping more sheep than they can hold in their head.
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
Because they depend on your breed, your ground and your system, and a printed date on a free sheet would be followed by somebody it is wrong for. What to do and when is a conversation with your vet and your own experience of the place.
Not by itself, and it does not claim to. Many countries require a specific register, in a specific form, kept for a specified number of years. Check what applies where you are and keep this alongside it.
Keep a medicines book that answers the two questions that actually get asked: what went into which animals, and when they are clear.
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.
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.
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
