Inventive

I'm very proud of myself.  Organizing a lot of animals is hard.  Who to breed when, who has shown a heat so you can breed them, who has had what difficulty in the past, who has even had what in the past.  When they had their last vaccination, are the babies even covered by the vaccination?  Then there's the meat side of things - when will this animal be ready to go to market? Will we have enough animals to send in 2013? 2014? 2015!?  It doesn't help that I came into this job with hardly any records.  Mostly no records...  Anyway, there's a lot.  But I made the coolest thing on Sunday and finished it today.  A breeding wheel!

  
It's hard to see here.  But the center spins.  Most of the pigs are up on that board (minus one), and it gives me a huge visual on where each pig is in their reproduction cycle.  They make these for cows, but for the life of me I couldn't find anything for pigs.  It's a little complicated because pigs have 2 litters a year, but as long as you know how to read it, it serves the purpose.

I wonder what other ideas I have hidden up my sleeve?
