[QUOTE="dun, post: 444084, member: 34"] I pretty much know which cows I can tag their calves at birth without getting into a mess and which ones to leave be. For the ones I can;t tag rightaway I wait until after spring workup (spring calveing) and tag the calf with the ear tag I think is the right one for that calf. We just use a sequential numbered tag on calves until they are weaned. After we're done working I just keep an eye on the calf and see who if nurses. If I have the tag number I just reasign the number to the proper calf. Solid colored calves can be a challenge at times to get them right when they're coming through the chute. [/QUOTE]
