FlockFiler Lite is a computer database for keeping health, management, and breeding records of SHEEP. FlockFiler Lite is suitable for any shepherd and for flocks of any size. Even though FlockFiler Lite was designed for sheep records, goat herders are using it for their goat records too.
Everything you type into the database is fully searchable so that you can find it later.

Lineage and breed composition are calculated automatically from dam and sire's info.
Display lists of all siblings and all Offspring of a particular sheep.
Display ancestry of the sheep in a genealogy diagram. Optionally include your choice of field to display next to each sheep on the diagram too (e.g. birth type, wool color, or horn status).
Score quality of wool (many aspects), and condition of body, feet, udder, teeth, soundness, ease of management, ease of lambing, and mothering ability.
Track the sheep's weight at birth, weaning, and at six more dates of your choosing. 60-day, 90-day, and 120-day weights are automatically estimated from the weights you provide.
