[QUOTE="Ohrmundt Simmentals, post: 1275244, member: 20629"] We're pretty much the same as Creekdrive. Year letter from the dam and the one for the calf. Example a calf from this year was PC301. The dam is P301( she was purchased with that tag). Since we keep replacements we have 3 or 4 cows in production with the 301 number. If we have duplicates with 2 letters we add the 3rd letter from the granddam(something like PWC301). We do have a couple of families that we have quit a few replacements from so to make it easier I made a new numbered family. Just rearranged the numbers. So a 301 cow had a calf and is now starting a line of 103. The 103 calf is like 3 or 4 generations from the original P301. A little confusing but helps me tie all the cows and calves together. Their all get recorded in my program and reported to ASA anyways just in case I forget. So many good ways to do it. What ever works for you. :) [/QUOTE]
