[QUOTE="CattleHand, post: 658870, member: 6534"] Thought I would share this story on how it shows the importance of keeping an organized system (and how much computers can help). My grandpa told my cousin who had told me so that being said I remember most of what it was about not exact locations. This one guy from where my grandpa farms was a younger man who kept track of all of his cattle on the computer with very complete records of weight, color, etc etc. One day someone had gone into one of his pastures and loaded up a few of his cattle. Since he had all the records he know exactly which ones were missing, what they looked like and everything else you would need to identify them with. He then called around to any livestock sale barn that may be withing hauling distance (I forget how far he called, maybe within an hours haul) and told them the details of what he was looking for. Sure enough he found his cattle and I think they caught up with the guy who had stolen them. Anways, good records sure can save you. [/QUOTE]
