[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 168723, member: 19"] How you guys attaching a calf to her dam in the recordbooks on say a 5,000 head operation? We've got the herd split into 2 seasons, so approximately 2,500 head need to be rode out every morning during drop season. This does not seem very efficient. Any ideas? Currently we just don't do it. We only preg-check. But I get the feeling there are quite a few who show up bred and slip the calf later on. Also, the only way to cull poor performers is by knowing which mother the dinks belong to. Once the herds are penned, the pairs are all split up. Riding around with a little note pad and making these observations seems fairly time consuming. Besides if that was the case you might as well just ride around and tag up newborns right? [/QUOTE]
