(Discussion) Rabbitry management, how do you do it?

Not trying to sell anything here - I'm building a rabbitry management tool and I keep running into the same gap.

Breeders who run more than 3-4 does at a time tell me the spreadsheet breaks down fast. You're manually calculating kindle dates, setting nest box reminders (day 28), logging kit counts, tracking losses, and then trying to figure out which doe/buck pairing actually produces the best dress-out percentage.

That last part is the one nobody has a clean answer for. Most breeders I've talked to either don't track it at all or have a separate notebook for processing weights that never gets cross-referenced against the breeding record.

I built something that connects all of it - breeding record → litter tracking → processing yield - so you can actually see dress-out percentage by pairing over time.

But before I keep building, I want to know: what does your current system look like? Spreadsheet, paper, some other app? What's the part that actually breaks?
