[QUOTE="dun, post: 39984, member: 34"] In the past we used the standard letter designation for the year and the sequential number of the birth that year for the calf. Bulls right ear, heifers left ear. This year we still tagged the heifers the same way, but the bulls we just gave a blue tag in the right ear with a permanent sequential number. When they head to the feed lot we'll cut off the tag and reuse it next year. (I'm cheap). The markers that come with the tags last several years, by then I know the cow so well they don;t really even need tags, but it does it faded but is still readable up close. dun [/QUOTE]
