I'm not aware of any that are shareware, particularly any that are multi-species, many you can download but your records & choices are limited. I've heard good reviews about Goat Breeders Notebook, I think it's only $99.-they're out of Canada I think. Others have said Animaltrac is okay & reasonable, too, not sure how much that one is. we've been looking at Goat Breeders Assistant, it has many modules including genetics, however it's very expensive so we've been hesitant($199.00 for the version we want). We had the same problem, we wanted one software for a variety of animals, havn't found it yet. Also each one has strong points, like milk production OR Fiber OR Meat, though some have all but strong points are definately evident. Cornell Univ. has a free download, Called Q-Ewe or something like that, geared towards sheep but probably useable for goats. I downloaded it once but never actually used it. It's available through SRMarketing through Cornell. So, for the time being, we're using MS Access. I found instructions from Allen Brown, MS Access professional found online, on how to create a pedigree in Access, 7 generation, and I use the tables to create forms & reports for each animal. I've worked into the program different animals, like dogs & goats, and I can easily add more. I keep track of pedigrees, health records, kiddings, vendors, & what I normally order from who. I havn't worked on the weights or milk yeilds, but they can be easily added when I find time (I do track them, but in a comments section not in a designated weight field). It's not the best, and certainly not professional work, but it meets our needs. If you have MS Access I'd be happy to send you the database we use, or give you the link to Alan Brown's directions on creating a pedigree, then you could add tables for your uses. An alternative for you might just be to create a spreadsheet in MS Excel, (or do you have MS Works?), simple easy data entry. Good luck in your search, maybe you'll have better luck than I.

Thanks taunia. Great site!

Here in the USA, when I can get them, I buy some of the craft magazines from Great Britten as they have a great selection of crafty things. You can go on line also as I am not sure what your definition of prayer cards are.

Man oh man. I could stay on this site for hours! Here is a link that might be useful: free pdf templates
