thanks mate

I use a spread sheet would that be acceptable with DEFRA ?

[JulieS]

Yes a spreadsheet would be fine Hilarysmum.  I don't think they mind how the information is kept as long as they can see you are keeping records.....Actually I don't think you officially have to keep breeding records, it's the movement papers and book that are the official part, also a medicine record.

Being the bestist dumbo computer op on here I always in the Google box write (Demo where can I buy a record book for my pig keeping) and see what comes up dozens any of them of use to you. Just adjust the question and you may get even more.(Record books for keeping pigs) Try it and see George

I just use a big diary put all pigs, horses, and dogs going on in it, seasons, births, worming, feed + prices, movements etc etc, works a treat 

[langdon]

simple as!!!!!

[JulieS]

Me too Danielle.  I keep a small book in my pocket to write things down in as I'm going around, then transfer all the important things into the big diary indoors.

Thanks for all the suggestions, they have been very helpful. We are keen to get record keeping right, as we don't want to fall foul of the regulations etc. its a long time since my partner last kept pigs, so its a case of checking what has changed.

We could do with some tips on carving a hog roast, any ideas??
