[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1524016, member: 25884"] We use a different color. All bulls/steers get a yellow or an orange tag. Whichever I have the most of that calving season when I can buy them on sale.... If known they get their momma's number. If not known, they get a generic number and then I watch to see who matches up with who. Same with heifers, but they get green unless they are definitely on one of my cows as opposed to my sons. Mine get white tags. If they aren't a sure thing, they get a green tag and then any that are mine that I decide to keep as a replacement gets my tag and the number I want her to have for life. Easy to sort them at pastures if they have a yellow/orange tag from any other color. Since most are sold, it isn't a big deal to change the ones in the heifers ears of the ones we are keeping, when they get bangs vaccinated. [/QUOTE]
