Livestock project worksheets

Swine project worksheets

Regular dated weights show how recent gain compares with the date and target in your fair book.

Use these sheets for market hog and breeding project records, weigh-ins, and fair week. Enter dates, weights, feed amounts, and costs only. Use your fair book and advisor for targets and animal-management decisions.

What to have beside the worksheet

Dated weigh-in notes from the same scale when possible
Feed receipts and the amount already recorded in the project log
Purchase, bedding, entry, equipment, and hauling receipts
Current official fair dates, classes, and weight rules

Worked record example

A dated market-hog weight row

June 3: 110 lb
June 24: 152 lb
42 lb gained over 21 days
42 / 21 = 2.00 lb per day

Keep both readings in the log. Take pace, feed, and animal-care questions to a qualified local advisor or veterinarian.

The original record makes the math checkable

Use dates and weights from scale tickets, then use feed receipts or expense notes for cost work. The print and export copies keep those starting numbers beside the answer.

Show the arithmetic

Keep the original numbers beside the answer.

Record the date and weight, then show the subtraction and division for ADG, feed cost, or break-even. An advisor can check the answer when the starting numbers stay visible.

Questions to take to an advisor

The worksheet can organize the numbers. Local adults and official program sources still answer project, animal-care, and rule questions.

Where are the current class, tagging, and weigh-in rules published?
Should an unusual reading be checked again before it goes in the official record?
Which swine-project expenses and health records must be kept in the official system?
