Transcription Format

For each sheep data point found, record:

• Source image: IMG_####
• Data type: treatment | measurement | pen_assignment | health_note | lambing | identification
• Date: if visible in the image
• Content: exact transcription of the text/data
• Normalized: cleaned version for the database

Struck-Through Text

Text with strikethrough in the notebook generally means:

• The animal is deceased or sold
• The treatment was not given (e.g., "no treat" struck through)
• The entry was corrected elsewhere

Always note strikethrough and interpret carefully.

MUST DO

• Use data/processed/*.jpeg versions only
• Note which image each data point comes from
• Preserve original spellings in notes field
• Mark uncertain readings as [UNCLEAR]

MUST NOT

• Read original images (>2000px)
• Guess unclear handwriting
• Invent data not visible in the image
• Discard information because it seems contradictory (record it and flag it)
