[QUOTE="KYFarmKid, post: 1245085, member: 22469"] I am just getting started in the registered angus business, I have been helping my dad with his commercial cow-calf my whole life but recently purchased my first registered cow. I am hoping to have my first calf crop this fall (3-4 calves). My question is what is the best way to go about collecting their birth weight and tagging the calf? They will be born in a 1/2 acre lot with easy access both the barn and cattle working pens/chute. I realize that some farms just estimate these weights, but I am not very good at guessing weights, and for the accuracy of my own records I would like to get an actual weight. Also is there any shots you would recommend giving them at birth? Thank you for the help!! [/QUOTE]
