[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 769486, member: 3162"] This operation is commercial. Bull calves are banded at birth and tagged with the dam's number. If a steer does not grow out well the dam (usually a first calf cow) gets culled - depending on the situation. Heifers are number tagged and recorded. It is a sequential number and my books give the DOB. Later the heifers are evaluated for replacements. The cream of the crop seems to come from the same dams year end year out. Murphy's law generally kicks my tail in that the cows I want heifers out of have steers and vice versa. This is not a recommendation of a numbering system but rather a system that works for me.
