[QUOTE="buymorebulls, post: 632516, member: 7270"] Although it is best to consult individual breed association rules (there is variation) on identification, the following is from the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) guidelines: APPENDIX 2.2, INTERNATIONAL YEAR/LETTER DESIGNATIONS FOR ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION International letters are designated for each year of birth. This option is easy to use in conjunction with numbers. For example, M001 and M002 might be used to indicate the first and second calf born in the year 2002.
