Write it on the Calendar NOW!!

Write it down. Write it down when it happens. Because...later when you need it, you will have forgotten what happened and won't have it available to look up!

Write down when the eggs started to incubate.

Write down when the doe/cow/ewe came in heat, and when she comes in heat again later, so you will know how long her cycle is and can plan accordingly.

Write down when she is bred, and to whom.

Write down when you worm your animals, what you used and how much.

Write down if you have to treat them for something…what the problem was, what you used to treat it with, dosage, and duration.

Write it down because you think you will remember what happened later, but you won’t. Write it down now, because if you put it off, you probably won’t write it down. And you won’t remember later when you are trying to remember. How do I know this? Because I have forgotten to write stuff down, and I would love to save you the trouble and aggravation I have had!

The calendar is the best place to write things down, because they usually hang in an easy to reach spot, and the info is easy to retrieve later when you want it. Keep it simple!
