For livestock project families

Is your animal on pace for fair day?

Use your dated weights to calculate average daily gain and projected fair weight. You can also track feed cost and project expenses, then print the numbers your record book asks for. Your fair book and advisor still set the target and the rules.

During the project

What do you need to figure out today?

The sheets are grouped the way a project season actually runs: weight checks, feed and costs, record-book prep, then fair and show week.

Have a scale ticket? Start with the weight tools. Feed receipts belong in the feed-cost calculator or expense tracker. The unfinished sheets are clearly marked and can hold notes, but they don't calculate yet.
