The record sheets were designed for use in a loose-leaf binder, whichcan be customized to each individual operation. This record book does not take the placeof business accounting and was not intended as a complete record list for tax preparationor loan application
The standard record book comes with enough sheets to keep records on up to 12 fieldsand 100 cows. If additional fields are needed, simply print or copy all four pasture recordsheets (pages 10-13) for each additional field. If an operation has more than 100 cowsand heifers, additional copies of the individual cow production history sheet (page 58)should be added for each cow. The breeding and pregnancy testing sheets allow for 25cows per sheet, so copies should be made for each additional 25 cows over the standard100 head (pages 161 & 165)
The individual cow production and pasture record sheets were developed to keep formultiple years. All other sheets may need to be replaced for the next year. Any recordsheets that do not apply for an operation can simply be removed. Additional recordsheets can be developed based on the needs of each operation. If individual animalrecords are not maintained, then there is no need for printing off the cow productionhistory sheets
One final suggestion, record keeping is most valuable when used for decision makingsuch as business analysis or cattle selection. In order to get the most value from therecords kept in this book, profitability and herd performance measures should bedeveloped for the year. However, with regulation and animal trace back, having a goodset of records is becoming more and more important. So keep the records to be able toprove what you have done, but also use the records to analyze performance andprofitability, to make your operation more efficient over the long haul
