We are going to start using QB for keeping track of our farm expenses. We mainly buy and sell livestock at auction. Goats, Cows and some Pigs.

We also have a construction company that has been using QB for the last 10 years that I know of. We are used to using the Customer/Job feature for that and are wondering what type of application we could use it for with the farm.

We have discussed putting in jobs as Week 1 and Week 2 in order to track exactly what cows sold for how much and get a "Job Report" for the week, but I think we are going to run into problems doing it that way since not all of an invoice always applies to the same "job"? Any ideas or suggestions?

Just let me know if you need any clarification... I'll be happy to try.

Classes might work better than Jobs for this, because each line item (of an Invoice or Cash Sales Receipt) can have a different Class assigned.

Our book, The QuickBooks Farm Accounting Cookbook™ ( http://www.goflagship.com/products/cbkhome.htm ) has a lot in it about setting up & using the Classes list in QuickBooks.
