We try to maintain a comprehensive record of each of our animals. We have not yet rolled out a professional dairy management software since our herd size is small. As of now we are able to manage the dairy record through excel sheets and other simpler management techniques, but as our herd size grows, we know we will have to switch to a proper software. Until then, here is an insight into how we manage our herd records:

​

• We keep an electronic file of each of our cow. The electronic record is in the form of Apple Numbers workbook.

• Each workbook contain the following sheets:

  • Biographical information​ of the cow.

  • Photo Library

  • Daily milk production

  • Key milestones in the cow life cycle.

• Snapshots of each of the above sheets are given below​
