Develop a record keeping plan for a particular species of livestock in an operation, that includes:

• reproduction (e.g., female productivity and male fertility, breeding dates, birthing rates, birth weights and parent/offspring pairings);
• raising livestock (e.g., farrowing records, weaning weight and rate of gain and age of livestock in different pens);
• nutrition (e.g., kind of feed, feed rations and days on pasture);
• animal management (e.g., sick or injured animals and medication records, daily checks); and,
• financial management (e.g., inventory, markets, customers, prices, sales, shipments and purchases).
