[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1788111, member: 42820"] I glad to see this.method of left ear - right ear tagging I also have about 26 head of goats and when I Scrappie tag the babies I do this left ear right ear tagging for marking girl or boy goat. I think now I’ll start with the calves. It just makes sense to know things at a glance. People laugh at me for the intensive records I keep in my computer and phone that are linked together. I know at all times how many more 5 gallon buckets of cotton seed is in my storage, how many bales of hay are left on the yard, how many bags of goat feed is in the bin and the last day it runs out. I keep daily cost of feed for cows and goats and cost per animal of the feed they eat. Also history on each animal with all vaccines, wormings, , and etc. When I put it in my phone or computer it deducts automatically from the last total and updates both. This to me is just a spill over from my job of numbers and costing of goods bought stateside and from the Covid China imports. At 74, when I retired, now the numbers are fun again. At 75 years of age it keeps me something to do plus I love the livestock life. “Records, it’s what’s for business” [/QUOTE]
