[QUOTE="dun, post: 133523, member: 34"] Bulls get a medium sized blue tag in the right ear with a sequencial number, or as close to sequential as possible. Heifers get a yellow medium sized tag in the left ear with a sequentila number. We reuse the tags each year. We don;t worry much about taggin them when they're born, we tag at spring workup in most cases. We then have a cross list that equates each calf to a cow. We don;t worry about getting the tags right at first tagging we just kept track of who nurses who. In the fall the heifers that are retained get a regular sized tag with their permanent number based on sequentila number for that year and the letter code, i.e. this year it was R1, R2, R3, etc. The steers and the heifers that are going to market are tagged with a number that is provided by the marketing program. dun [/QUOTE]
