Breeding Records
Keeping in-depth and precise breeding records is extremely important, especially when you are offering outside stud service. Many breeders to not use such in-depth records like we do, and we think it is very important to use something so informational. We also have a great vet by the name of Dr. Richard Wheeler, DVM, who specialized in reproduction. He has been a very valuable member of the Red Granite Ranch breeding team.
To start, we use a system called AlpacaEASE/Herdes (linked here) to keep track of every animal on the propety, including boarders and visiting females. This system has pretty much everything you will need to keep track of your animals. We keep our breeding records on it and love it.
Secondly, we use a breeding board and breeding page system that offers a great place to keep track of when females are bred, how many times they have been bred, who the test male is, etc.
