Goat Herd & Kidding Tracker – Excel & Google Sheets Spreadsheet (Breeding Log, Kidding Records, Milk, Health & Deworming, Sales Waitlist)

Keep breeding dates, kidding records, milk weights and health notes in one workbook instead of a barn notebook and a phone calendar, with no subscription.

Enter the date a doe was bred. The workbook works out when to watch for a return heat, when her prep period starts and her due date, all based on timings you set. Rows change color as kidding gets close.

What's inside (11 tabs):

• Start Here: setup steps and a color key
• Dashboard: pick a year. It shows does, bucks and wethers on the farm, does due in the next 14 days, overdue checks, pending pregnancies, kiddings, kids born and born alive, average kids per kidding, doelings vs bucklings, milk for the year and the last 30 days, health tasks due or overdue, goats in withdrawal, low FAMACHA scores, income, expenses, net, deposits held and waitlist size. Also includes monthly charts of income vs. expenses and milk, and a per-doe performance table.
• Settings: gestation length (default 150 days), heat cycle (21), prep day (120), "due soon" windows and weaning age, plus editable dropdown lists
• Herd: one row per goat with breed, sire and dam, registration number, tattoo or tag, purpose, status and pen. Age, times bred, kiddings, kids born, last weight, last FAMACHA score and milk for the year fill in automatically.
• Breeding Log: hand-bred, pen-bred or AI. Calculates the return-heat watch date, prep date, due date and days to due, with alerts.
• Kidding Records: one row per kid. Pick the breeding and the dam, sire and kidding date fill in. Records sex, born alive, birth weight, assisted, disposition (retained, for sale, reserved, sold, wethered, bottle baby) and a target wean date.
• Milk Log: AM and PM amounts per doe, with daily totals and days in milk
• Health Log: deworming, vaccinations, FAMACHA checks, hoof trims, fecal tests and treatments. Records FAMACHA and body-condition scores, withdrawal days and the date withdrawal ends, and next-due dates, flagged as Due soon, OVERDUE or IN WITHDRAWAL.
• Weights: scale or weigh-tape readings, with age and average daily gain since birth for kids
• Sales & Waitlist: waitlist requests in order, reservations with deposits, balance due and pickup dates
• Expenses: hay, feed, minerals, vet, medication, fencing and more, totaled by month

You receive:

• Goat-Herd-Kidding-Tracker-BLANK.xlsx

• Quick-Start-Guide.pdf (3 pages, including Google Sheets steps)

Good to know:

• Each log has 300 ready rows. Copy the last row down to add more.
• It uses standard formulas (IF, COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, INDEX/MATCH) and plain cell-range dropdowns, chosen to work in both Excel and Google Sheets. Open the .xlsx in Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and save it as a Google Sheet.
• Use any weight or milk unit. Change the currency format if you don't use $.
• The defaults are not veterinary advice. The 150-day gestation, 21-day heat cycle, day-120 prep reminder and 60-day weaning are common reference points that you can change. Products, doses, schedules and withdrawal times must come from the label and your vet. The sheet only stores and flags what you enter.
• This is a digital download, and nothing ships. It is licensed for use on your own farm or business; please don't resell or share it.
• This is an independent product, not affiliated with Microsoft, Google, any breed registry, or the owners of the FAMACHA system. The workbook just gives you a column to record your scores.
