[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 172633, member: 19"] They aren't trying to ID new calves. We do know how many mature animals we have, give or take a dozen. At some point every herd rolls through the pens, be it marking & branding, bulls out, or weaning and vaccinating. Every animal is EID and everything that rolls through gets scanned so a record of everything performed is kept as well as rolling an animal to other herds. At weaning and vaccinating it would be beneficial to know who the mother is so we can cull some of the bags that bring runts with them every year (assuming there are many that do). Many poor performers are a result of inbreeding over the years or poor milk production. We preg check all of them, but this only tells us they concieved. It doesn't mean she brings a marketable weanling to the pens. I guess it's just a pitfall of being a big dog. They are a top 25 cow/calfer for the US. [/QUOTE]
