[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1836546, member: 24027"] My tagging system is a cluster only I understand. Original cows we bought were numbered 1-33 and they had green tags. The first calves they had were 1-A and so on with white tags, heifers tagged on the left, bull calves tagged on the right. Which segued into 1-A's first calf was 101, etc. and those calves had yellow tags. Fast forward many years and each number is a derivative of the original cow purchased and subsequent lineage. Tag colors: each year the 1st calf heifers get a new color (until I run out of available Y-Tex colors and start over). Back of the tag had the ranch logo, date of birth, calf number and name (yes, they're all named, don't judge ;)). See? It's a cluster. But I can scan the pasture and generally identify my cattle from a distance, including physical attributes. [/QUOTE]
