[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1460407, member: 25884"] I keep a small calendar and make notes on it then transfer to sheets of notebook paper that are specific to each field or group of cows. I do not have smart phone and so many places we have very spotty reception anyway. It is a bit of writing, but I get very familiar with the cows and their calves etc and where they are. All preg checks etc are on a separate sheet, dated and pertinent info like what bull, when he went in, came out, how far preg the vet says they are. All the different info gets entered on to individual cow pages, along the lines of what dairy farmers do, but I can pull any cow's page and tell you any/every thing that has ever happened in her life. Yes, it is a fair amount of paperwork, and some seems repetitious, but as I said, I can remember it better when I actually write it down. It also can't crash, get erased, lost in the cloud, or anything like that. Not the most modern way to do it, but I am not the biggest fan of hi-tech computer stuff; nor am I very adept at using alot of it either. [/QUOTE]
