[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 953482, member: 7509"] I am not always around when calves are born in the spring. I used to try to tag them as soon as I found them and discovered that can be very dangerous with a protective cow and herd that comes running. After all calves are born and a few weeks old, I get them all in the corral (calves follow mom) for a grain treat. Vet and I run them all thru to weigh, pour, cut and shots. They get ear tags then. Calves get random white eartag numbers since I have had poor luck trying to identify them for sure as they come thru the chute. Within the next few days after workup I can see which calves are sucking on which cows and line up eartags in my Cattlemax program. Retained heifers get permanent yellow eartags and rfid sets in the fall workup. Jim [/QUOTE]
