animal health sent us a couple of flock books with our flock number. one were using for births and movements and the other for medicines. when i remember. any school excise book will do but sfs are nice. im just tight if its free i don't complain.

Hi again,

Of course there are the free options to use: Old blank book, excel (or other) spreadsheet, Access (or other) database, or written on your vest with an old piece of coal  ;D

The important thing is to record the correct data and be able to show it in the event of an inspection.

Personally I think £3.75 for a ready laid out book is a bargain, .....and saves on vests  ;D ;D ;D
