[QUOTE="VAAngus, post: 1275062, member: 8348"] First calf of the year here gets a medium size tag with the first two numbers being the year, first calf born 1501, 2nd calve born 1502, 3rd calf born 1503 and so on. If we know the dam's number we will write it in small letters on the bottom of the tag, sires number on the back. Any replacements we keep get a new larger tag when we take yearling weights and their tag number also becomes their tattoo number. We know the age and tattoo number of any cow out in the pasture just by looking at the tag. [/QUOTE]
