[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1524090, member: 6291"] I use to try to tag heifers in the right, bulls in the left but it became too much of a PIA. I usually tag them down the line now and I don't want to have to go from side to side. At the beginning of the year I pretty much get all my tags for calves in zip lock bags ready to go starting at 1. I label the bags by the property and always keep a bag of blanks so if one gets messed up I don't skip that number, I just write it in. In my tally books and spreadsheets I make a note like 67Y, 34G, bwb... cow tag, calf tag, and a calf description. On some of the Brahman heifers or some thing I know is going to be kept I go ahead and give them a "cow" number in sequence with the cows in the right ear and a tag with the brand and phone numbers in the left ear like the rest of the cow herd. If we keep any heifers other than those its easiest just to cut the "calf" tag off and re-do it when we brand and give vacs at weaning. [/QUOTE]
