H1

Sheep Record Keeping Spreadsheet Alternative

Intro

A spreadsheet can be a good first step for sheep records. The problem begins when the same farm story must appear in animal cards, weight charts, feed stock, treatment history, costs, exits, reports and multi-device workflows.

H2: When spreadsheets work

• Small flocks
• Simple lists
• Occasional records
• One person editing the file
• No connected reports needed

H2: Where spreadsheets become painful

• Duplicate data entry
• Broken formulas
• Hard-to-read mobile layout
• No animal card history
• Feed stock not connected to cost
• Treatments not connected to inventory
• Reports rebuilt by hand
• Weak multi-device workflow

H2: HerdDeck's approach

HerdDeck connects sheep records, animal cards, weights, medical history, feed stock, ration planning, finance, reports and sync into one workflow.
