StocKeeper 2003:
Screen Shots
StocKeeper isn't just a pretty face, but a pretty face never hurt anyone, either.
One of the primary goals Herd-Pro Software had when developing StocKeeper was
to make an interface that is easy to use. These screen shots will help give
you an idea how our software works. Note that many of the screens on this page
are at 50% and you may click on any of them to see the full-size screen in a
new window.
The At-A-Glance Herd List
The main interface feature of StocKeeper is the At-A-Glance Herd List. If you've ever used Windows Explorer, Outlook, or any other Windows software that uses a tree structure, you will find this interface very familiar. It allows you to view your entire heard on screen at once. You can group your herd into as many groups and subgroups as you like (up to 99 different groups). In addition, you can also assign your animals to locations and sublocations. The combination of these two custom ways to group your herd allows you arrange your animals in any numbver of useful groupings for easy comparisons and management. In addition to the two grouped tree views, you can also view your herd as a list. You can further customize your Herd List by implementing filters to show/hide animals based on certain criteria. You can also switch between the 8 available animal IDs (including name, ID tag, registration number and several more.)

Individual Animal Data Tabs
When an animal is selected from the Herd List, the data tabs across the right side of the screen appear and show data for this specific animal. The screens are shown below:
Current Status Tab
Current Status shows general information such as birth date, color, species, animal name and identification, etc.
Pedigree Tab
An unlimited pedigree history can be tracked for each animal. The pedigree tab shows the immediate 3 generations (plus siblings and offspring) for the animal. (The printable Pedigree Report shows 5 generations at one time.)
Interval Stats
The interval stats tab shows time based statics such as Days Since Last Birth, Days To First Heat, Last Vaccination, Current Days Open, Etc.
Production Stats
Production stats shows all of the milk production information for an animal
(with dairy herds). These include current and lifetime Milk Production, SCC
data, Days in Milk, Current Summit Milk, etc.
Events
The events tab is where you you will enter most of the data on each animal. Events include Herd Check, Medical, Heat, Bred, Calving, Dry Off, Cull and a Change of Status. You can also view (and edit) the lifetime event history on each animal.
Milk Data
The Milk Data Tab shows lifetime milk production statistics organized by lactation. If you are manually entering milk data, you can also do it from this screen.
Lactation Curves
The lactation Curves tab allows you to plot a variety of milk/production stats. You can adjust the visual presentation of the graph as well as the specific data you are plotting. You can also choose the particular lactation you would like to see graphed. If you have more than one animal selected (such as a group) you can plot multiple animals on one graph.
Photos
You can store two photos of each animal on the Photos Tab.
Custom FieldsNew for '03
The Custom Fields tab is available in the Pro, Multi-Species, and Consultant editions of StocKeeper. The custom fields tab allows you to track data that is particular to your farm. This allows you to track data on a variety of species.
Inventory
Group Data Tabs
When you select a group from the Herd List, the data tabs show data based on
the group as a whole.
Group Summary
The group summary is a quick overview of the group's make up.
Production Summary
The Production Summary tab displays group averages and totals.
Today's Tasks
The Today's Task screen is perhaps the most used screen in StocKeeper. It lists
all things that you need to to today. These reminders are based on a variety
of custom 'flags' that you can set up that will trigger a reminder. It allows
you to print out a list of animals that need medical attention, are showing
abnormal signs, need a herd check, are due to be dried off, etc.
Today's Tasks
When a group is selected, you can plot multiple animals on the Lactation Curves.
Trend ChartsNew for '03
The Trend Charts allow you to plot a variety of custom trend-line comparisons.
This allows you to take one or criteria and plot the results over a slice of
time in your herd's history.
Reports
StocKeeper comes with over 30 different reports that you can generate to evaluate and document your herd's progress. In addition to the built in reports, you can generate an unlimited number of custom reports containing the specific data and comparisons you need for your farm. All reports can be further customized based on sub-sets of your herd, specific dates in time, etc. Reports can be printed or saved as PDF files, Text files, or Microsoft Excel Worksheets. The following screens and PDFs are examples of just two of the many reports available.
Animal Card
The animal card is a snapshot overview of an animal's history and current status.
