You didn't get into sheep
for the spreadsheets.
You fell in love with those teddy bear faces, that incredible wool, and the joy of raising something truly special. But the recordkeeping? It matters more than you think.
Scattered Notes
Shearing dates in one notebook, vet records in another, breeding info on a sticky note somewhere...
Overkill Software
Most livestock tools were built for commercial operations running thousands of head. Way too complex for specialty flocks.
Lost Time
You're spending time digging through records instead of being in the barn with your flock where you belong.
Built From the Barn, Not the Boardroom
Silver Fleece came out of my own frustration. I started Wool & Wonder Farm with a small group of carefully selected Valais Blacknose breeding stock, and from day one I was drowning in details.
Shearing dates. Hoof trim schedules. FAMACHA scores. Vet visits. Breeding records. Sales. Nothing on the market fit.
Everything was either too bloated for a small specialty flock or too basic to capture the information that actually matters for Valais Blacknose sheep.
So I built the tool I wished existed — and now I'm sharing it with you, completely free.
Everything Your Flock Records Need.
Nothing They Don't.
Six core tracking areas designed for the way small breeders actually work.
Shearing Records
Log every shearing date, fleece weight, and quality notes. Build a clear production picture for each animal over time.
Hoof Trim Tracking
See at a glance who's due next. Never let a trim slip through the cracks when managing multiple schedules.
FAMACHA Scoring
Track parasite resistance across your flock over time. Spot trends early and make smarter breeding decisions.
Vet Visit Logs
Every visit, treatment, and vaccination — tied to the individual animal. No more flipping through paper files.
Breeding Records
Clean records of pairings, dates, and outcomes. Share lineage info with buyers or plan your next season with confidence.
Sales Management
Track what's sold, when, and to whom. Keep the business side organized without a separate system.
