About this
Record Book
This record book was designed for field use (kept in truck), to record beef cattle and
pasture records. The record sheets were designed for use in a loose-leaf binder, which
can be customized to each individual operation. This record book does not take the place
of business accounting and was not intended as a complete record list for tax preparation
or loan application

The standard record book comes with enough sheets to keep records on up to 12 fields
and 100 cows. If additional fields are needed, simply print or copy all four pasture record
sheets (pages 10-13) for each additional field. If an operation has more than 100 cows
and 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 25
cows per sheet, so copies should be made for each additional 25 cows over the standard
100 head (pages 161 & 165)

The individual cow production and pasture record sheets were developed to keep for
multiple years. All other sheets may need to be replaced for the next year. Any record
sheets that do not apply for an operation can simply be removed. Additional record
sheets can be developed based on the needs of each operation. If individual animal
records are not maintained, then there is no need for printing off the cow production
history sheets

One final suggestion, record keeping is most valuable when used for decision making
such as business analysis or cattle selection. In order to get the most value from the
records kept in this book, profitability and herd performance measures should be
developed for the year. However, with regulation and animal trace back, having a good
set of records is becoming more and more important. So keep the records to be able to
prove what you have done, but also use the records to analyze performance and
profitability, to make your operation more efficient over the long haul
