Nice looking animals.
I can't help but notice that all your ear tags are in the right ear. Why is that?
And they all appear to be of the same size, medium I believe. Why is that?

I dont know unless his cows are registered. I know my breed association requires either all be left or all be right.

Everyone is just posting pics of their average looking animals so they don't hurt your feelings.

Now if you see a 600 lb calf with a small tag, what does that tell you about the seller?
Now if you see 600 lb calves with some tags in the right ear and some in the left, and you are not told left is steers, right is heifers, what does that tell you about the seller?
Now if you see 20 600 lb steers and the numbers range from: lowest number being 3 and the highest number being 47, what does that tell you?
Now if a man says he has 2 or more groups of heifers for sale with different prices and they all have the same identical tags on them, on the same ear, but are not in numerical order per group, what does that tell you.
Now if a man says he has 2 or more groups of heifers for sale with different prices, and "not born on property" ( Diesel's second post) and
they all have the same identical tags on them, on the same ear, but are not in numerical order per group, what does that tell you?
Ahh, Ok. Every now and then some will get a cow tag because I run out of calf tags.SirLoin2":3j5rwvah said:Re:
By "same size" I was referring to the tag size.They are close to being the same size mostly because they are about the same age.

Re:
That's OK, I do the same thing.Every now and then some will get a cow tag because I run out of calf tags.
I even use big tags on new borns and up when I treat them in the field for illness. It makes them a lot easier to find in the herd to check on them later. But the tag comes off the next time he/she is worked.
It's when you see the new born (small) tags on a 400 lber and up that you should be tipped off that nothing has been done to this animal since birth.Which means no worming, no vacination, etc etc.
See: What do ear tags tell you? Take 1. No tag.

Not necessarily. We keep the small tags in the ear until replacement heifer and bull/steer selections are made after weaning. Once they are made, we grind new tags and put them in those we are keeping when we tattoo and freeze brand in the spring before turnout or selling bulls. The ones going to the sale barn have the small tags left in (not spending money and time on grinding new or putting in new for the sale barn). The ones going to the sale barn with small tags have had shots, dewormer, etc. like the rest of the calves. It just depends on how the rancher does their operation.SirLoin2":2yq1qm25 said:Vett,
