Dairy goat records, from milk stand to milk test
Log daily yields in seconds, record official DHIA tests with butterfat, protein, and SCC, and see every doe's lactation curve — with 305-day projections so you know how a lactation is tracking before it's over.
Free for small herds · Works offline · No download needed
Production tracking that earns its keep
Know who's earning her hay — with data, not gut feel.
Daily milk logs
Per-doe amounts in pounds or your preferred format, AM/PM, with running totals. Fast enough to do with wet hands.
Official DHIA tests
Record test-day weights, butterfat, protein, and somatic cell count. Test history builds each doe's official story across lactations.
Lactation curves & projections
Every lactation gets a curve, and Herd Manager projects the 305-day total from the data so far — so a first freshener's trajectory isn't a mystery.
Herd comparisons
Rank does by production, components, or persistence. Culling and breeding decisions get a lot easier with the numbers side by side.
The dairy year, handled
From freshening to dry-off, the calendar and the records stay in sync.
Freshening to first test
Kidding records roll straight into a new lactation — no re-entering dates, no orphaned records.
Dry-off on time
Auto-generated dry-off reminders keyed to due dates, plus the knowledge base guide on doing it safely.
Milk to product
Track batches for cheese, soap, and other value-added products, so production data connects to what you actually sell.
Quality watch
SCC trends and bacterial test records help you catch udder trouble while it's still a data point, not a vet call.
From the goat care knowledge base
The numbers make more sense when you know what they mean. Written by goat farmers, for goat farmers — free, no signup.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about dairy goat record keeping.
Can I record official DHIA milk test results?
Yes. Log each test day's milk weight, butterfat percentage, protein percentage, and somatic cell count per doe. Test history accumulates across lactations so you can compare a doe's performance year over year.
What are 305-day projections?
Herd Manager fits each doe's test and daily-log data to a lactation curve and projects her 305-day total while the lactation is still in progress. It's the same style of projection used in official testing, and it means you can evaluate a first freshener months before her lactation ends.
Does it work for small home dairies?
Yes — it's free for up to 10 goats with every dairy feature included, and it works offline in the milk room. Whether you're on official test or just tracking a family milker, the same tools apply.
Can I track milk used for cheese and soap?
Yes. Batch tracking connects your milk production to value-added products, so you can see where the milk went and what it became.
