Sheep medicine book

[paul&mandy]

Hi all, we currently use print off A4 pages and paper clip them in our fabbl book as they keep saying they don't do the book anymore? Just seems to be looking a right mess with lots of bits of paper
What do other people use for purchase and administration of medicine. Would love a nice book so it's all tidy in on place.
Thanks Paul

All my records are in a lever arch folder/ring binder. Print the pages off, hole punch them and you can just keep adding to it

For the past 15 years I’ve kept all of those essential records (sheep movement, meds purchased, meds used, later tagging and re-tagging etc) on separate sheets of an excel spreadsheet. I just made the template up myself from my very basic excel knowledge.
These days I use a free version of office - Open Office I think it’s called.

As Cornish Ranger said, just use a ring binder.

And call it a ''Fibs File''.

Just buy a hard back note book and put lines in for the different columns with a pen and ruler.

Thanks for the replys. Sounds like what we are doing is adequate. Tried a computer program, pain in the butt that was.

That's what I do, and for movements as well, same book, front and back.

Loose leaf/ring binder system here - most drug use occurs at lambing time so have loose pages in lambing shed and written up as done (saves making it all up later). Pages then inserted as necessary.

I use a ring binder, but is there a medicine book app? It would be filled in as soon as the medicine was administrated rather than doing it in the house later and forgetting about it!!
I’d just want a simple medicine book app rather than full flock management type thing.
Is there such a thing?

I think you can still get the AHDA book. Looks as cheap a method as any. I started using a home made spreadsheet but was embarrased by my computer failing to start when it was needed during an inspection, so I've gone back to the book again.
