[Jacob-list] clean (or not-so-clean) fleece

[dave & katrina]

Thanks for noticing the pedigrees....A while ago, Lynda B. wrote to the list
about a GREAT software/database package. She was sooo right! It is called
Breeder's Assistant (Generic) and costs $99.
http://www.breedersassistant.com/ba/ Believe me, not expensive when you see
how much it can do. It seems very similar in capability to the software ALBC
was promoting at the Sheep and Wool festival last year for several hundred.
Can you see that I am sold on it? *smile*  I bought it as soon as I looked
at it and cannot say enough good things about it.  It was exactly what I was
looking for.   I was trying to keep a lot of info on our animals and finding
it hard (and time consuming) to come up with creative little ways to make
pedigrees, store info, pictures, etc. and not confuse myself or make
mistakes.

This database is very easy to use and while it has a default look for most
of its records and pedigrees for those who want things very easy, the
options are limitless on how you can organize/personalize your information.
It has clear, easy instruction on everything it can do...keeps 4 pictures
and can include them on the pedigree, keeps breeding records, health
records, where animals were sold, etc, etc.   It has already paid for itself
in time saved here at our place.
