As I know I am probably not the only one, but I am terrible at keeping records. Any kind of records from breeding to kidding to health! I was interested in hearing how you all keep your records and in an organized way. I am not talking about a soft ware program. Just simple like word or excell. If you can share some of your record keeping forms that'd be great too!

I use a calendar/day planner, too. It's much easier for me than the computer (which I have tried) and it helps me keep up with actual dates. I do still try to keep a record of a doe's offspring/kidding history on the computer.
You know what, I really wanted to get going with an app or software, but things were just moving too fast and I never seemed to get that going - so one day at the store I just picked up a pocket calendar. You know, the bi-fold kind with a plastic jacket - and started writing everything down in that. It has worked wonderfully. I only have 2 does, bust still I just could never seem to keep track of when I last clipped feet or dewormed or gave copper, etc. This method works great for me :)

Rachel shared her fantastic record keeping forms on here and I printed them and use them that way. Here's the thread with the downloadable forms:
