[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1269481, member: 23321"] I'll just add, start the record keeping now with what little you know and go from there. Decide which you are getting rid of and then tag everything else. Keep notes, and build up the info over time as you lose the old cows with no history, they will be replaced with ones you know. Decide on a numbering system for the cows and their calves, mark down when they breed, when the calve, any health issues, when bull went in, when he came out.. etc pretty much anything that makes you stop and think about a specific cow, jot it down in a notepad. Lots of stuff comes in handy down the road. New cell phones are also great as many will take a picture and label it the date and time it was taken. I snap pics all the time, and it helps me to look back at a number of things. [/QUOTE]
