[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 65887, member: 57"] we usually tag the heifers we retain when we sell off the others. bulls/steers dont normally get a tag. i am with the cows enough to know which calf belongs to who so if there is a need to identify one (usually there isnt) i can point it out. we switch colors after a while. for instance, main herd is 1-162 yellow. i have them sorted by age in columns on an excel spreadsheet. 1-10 are/were 12 this year, 11-47 are/were 11, etc. then we have 1-50 orange (my sisters). my heifers are 1-82 white. etc. its a lot less complicated than it sounds but i dont even pay attention to the ear tags. i know the cows and their numbers individually. comes in handy when they are missing ear tags. Dad likes to have them tagged so he can ask me about a certain cow from time to time. this really came in handy while i was away at college. [/QUOTE]
