[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1466645, member: 498"] At that sale they have a system of ear tags. The color of the tag and the ear it is in denotes age and when they are calving. There is a board up above the auctioneer that lists what it all means. The vast vast majority calf in what they refer to as "the window". That is calving between February 1 and April 15. For instance heifers calving on time are pink. Ones calving late (May - June) are purple. The blue tags are 9-11 year old that are calving in the window. Later into the sale they didn't even mess with trying to sell the late calvers by the head, they just sold by the pound to the kill buyers. [/QUOTE]
