Record Keeping – maybe you don’t have your project books yet to keep your records, but you can always jot down your notes and add them to a project book later. You should be setting learning goals, recording livestock inventory, keeping feed tags, feed receipts, noting how much you are feeding, tracking growth/animal weights and management notes.
