sheepbytes.ca is cool, the local code looks neat and tidy.  I am not
sure about the security thereof. And just imho S/R would not be optimal
to remake this specific java app.. just from playing with the demo and
reading the tech doc, if you do decide to remake this in java/whatever
- it will be a lot of work, even with a fw and/or base. just saying :)

a lot of what sheepmates is and does is also data related...
If I were making this, for myself and for local use, I would probably
enter the formulas into a spreadsheet and calculate my feed
requirements, etc from that...(yes, I am quite lazy - plus this way I
can give my spreadsheet out to my sheep mates and get free beer)
