I'm Kathi, goat owner, goat lover and goat milker for more than twenty years. (Mostly Nubians, but also a few Alpines and "Nu-pine" crosses, and a verrrrry pregnant Nigerian Dwarf.)
Back when I had two goats, life was easy.
Then they had babies, and I bought a few more goats. My herd grew like crazy, and I struggled with keeping track of, well, everything.
I had no idea how much money my herd cost, other than cashing my paycheck and plunking that money right back down on the feed store's counter every month.
Time always got away from me, and I had a sinking feeling that my livestock guardian dog needed a rabies booster (maybe last year?).
FINALLY I'D HAD ENOUGH!
I developed a system and life became so much easier and less stressful!
Over the years I tweaked those forms and added many more, and this pack of Goat Record Sheets is the result.
Add them to a 3-ring binder along with your goats' registration papers, annual testing results and herd documents, and you'll have the perfect goat management notebook!
You'll know
- how much hay to buy to get through next winter
- which goat pulls her weight in milk production and which one doesn't, so you can make the best decisions for your herd
- and which goat had trouble giving birth last year, so you can be on-the-spot to help out!
And most of all, this part of your life will be under control and you'll be able to sleep better at night. (But I can't help you declutter your home - that part's up to you!)
This Goat Record book is helping me keep track of all of my goats' health and breeding records.
