Question 1

What sheep records should I keep?

Accepted Answer

At minimum, keep animal identity, birth or entry date, group, breeding/lambing notes, weight records, health records, feed purchases, exits and sale income.

Question 2

Are these templates suitable for small flocks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They are designed to work as simple printable or spreadsheet-based records for small and growing sheep farms.

Question 3

Can I use these templates before buying software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is the point. Start with records you understand, then move to software when the work becomes too connected for spreadsheets.

Question 4

What is the difference between a template and HerdDeck?

Accepted Answer

A template stores information manually. HerdDeck connects records across modules, so animal history, feed stock, costs, reports and decisions stay linked.

Question 5

Should I keep paper records or digital records?

Accepted Answer

Paper is easy in the field, but digital records are easier to search, analyze, back up and report. Many farms start on paper and move to digital once the workflow grows.
