[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1829800, member: 498"] Here everyone tags calves. Generally on the day they are born. Cows end up leaving the hay meadows in April and they don't all go in the same direction so they have to be matched up. It is a lot quicker and easier to match up numbers than to pair them up with nothing else to go on. In my case they are going to a summer pasture where there is no corral. About 3 trips with 4 or 5 trailer loads per trip. We have to have pairs that match up. Otherwise a cow will take off and when her calf arrives on the next load she will be nowhere in sight. At that point which direction does the calf head? That is a wreck looking to happen. So all the trailers parked side by side. 1, 2, 3 everyone opens the trailer doors at the same time. Cows look for calves and calves look for cows. And off they go. Some wont be seen again until fall. [/QUOTE]
