When a mating is discontinued + either animal remated a record is made on the new page. Thus S156 might be made up of [female symbol] from 85 + [male symbol] from 86 + so noted. Here all letters born to the mating + their ultimate fate are noted. A litter book. Here all litters are entered on sequentially numbered pages Each litter is given a number consisting of the mating # plus its own page # thus SM86/105. + the individuals when sexed will be given small-letter designations ie. SM86/105 a [male symbol]! When the young are used for making up new matings they are given new numbers but record of origin is kept. Thus S.M 250 might be [male symbol] SM86/105a + [female symbol] S85b.
