Who this sheep keeping journal is for

This journal is for shepherds and smallholders keeping sheep for meat, wool or as lawnmowers. It suits beginners with a few ewes and experienced keepers managing lambing season. Records of health, lambing, shearing and pasture keep the flock healthy and productive. It also helps keepers who sell lambs, fleece or breeding stock, since records support good decisions and fair prices. Clear notes on each ewe's lambing history help you choose which to keep for breeding.

How to use your sheep keeping journal

Fill in profiles, use the care chart, log feeding, vet visits and medications, track weights, keep the roster, record lambing and shearing, rotate pasture and track costs. Body-score sheep regularly and record weights, especially before tupping and lambing. Note each lamb's birth date, weight and mother, rotate pastures to reduce parasites and record shearing dates and fleece quality.
