[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 950801, member: 16453"] I tag then at about 2-3 wks of age. I am by myself and don't want to risk having a hassle with a protective mother. Last year I got lifted pretty well by one old girl, I would love to get their birth weights but I don't think it is worth the risk. When I have a group of about 10 I yard the cows and can usually draft out the calves and run them through the calf race. They are black Angus so no distinguishing features, when I let the calves out I can usually mother them up straight away, it is always nice to have tags on them, it straight away gives them a bit of identity.
