Check feed stocks weekly and review money received and paid monthly. 4. Keep evidence together Attach receipts, veterinary instructions and service documents behind the relevant page. Cross-reference them by date or receipt number. 5. Review and repeat Use the same blank worksheet as often as needed for your own farm. File completed pages by month, animal or growing area.
