[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1118079, member: 22072"] We use Y-Tex un numbered. We tattoo each cow with their number, then write their number on their tag. First number is the last number of the year they were born. 2011 their number would start with 1...we have old 1's but you can tell the difference in a cow who is 10 years older so we dont worry about it unless we have a lot of say, 4s we keep and old 4s, just to keep the numbers different, we'll start the newly tagged with 450 and up..Anywho, when we get the cows up to worm, we go over their tags with new ink, if we cant tell what their number is we took at their tattoo.. If we cant read their number on either, we give them a new number but 4 numbers instead of 3, that way if we can find them in our records later, we can change it back when we get them up to worm whether it be on their tag or on the records.
