[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1034229, member: 19930"] Someone said there's a lot to go wrong with technology which is true, but there's a lot to go right just as well. If it's you, and just you then calving books are great. Most of those are one per year. To carry information beyond the current calendar year you need another notebook that's been kept up. You can make notes and reference those anytime you need. You can thumb through the pages and find what you want. Hard to share that information with anyone else though. Sometimes finding it in that calving book or the notebook is a bit of a chore especially when you're in the pasture. It's very nice to be able to see every bit of information about an animal when you need it most, no matter where you are when you need the info. Before we went "online" with our records, I had a cowboy who would call his wife from a pasture and ask her to look up information about a cow or calf. Worked really well when she was home and not busy, not so well if she was visiting her parents or shopping or getting her hair done - the other 95% of the time. Saved a marriage with that iPhone! :) We store a lot of reference material (maps, articles, pictures etc) on our phones. Generally I print and mail a pdf to myself and then save the pdf to iBooks. I can get to that information without an internet or cell connection. [/QUOTE]
