[QUOTE="Gators Rule, post: 1275024, member: 15587"] Please allow me to pose a question regarding ear tags... I have been using the system whereby a calf will be tagged with the momma's same number...with a letter prefix indicating the year of birth. That works ok, and is easy enough.....until that momma's own heifers start having calves of their own. Essentially, in the case of ole Red Beauty N09 over the past three years, she gave birth to heifers (cows) Z09, A09, and B09. Well...assume all have a calf next year. All four calves would be tagged D09 in my system. What do ya'll do to prevent this from happening in your ID recordkeeping? thanks, David [/QUOTE]
