Goat Herd Management
Filed Under Bento Examples | 2 Comments
Wendy Lee and her husband run Tiannan Woods Goats (http://tiannanwoods.com) in Philadelphia, TN. They have a small herd that they are raising to sell as meat. It is important that they keep careful records of breedings and in particular the following types of information:
- Knowing when the does are ready to kid
- Knowing when to give vaccinations
- Keeping performance records of the kids as they grow so that they know if they are feeding them too much or too little
- Tracking prices
- Tracking farm expenses
There are herd keeping programs available, but most of them are either for Microsoft Windows, are too expensive or are just not really what they needed. They have tried keeping records in a spreadsheet which works but is not ideal and since Wendy got a new iMac for Christmas which came with Leopard installed and a preview of Bento she decided to give it a spin and soon knew that she had found what she needed.
