[QUOTE="stocky, post: 98774, member: 1150"] there are about 20 cattle auction barns within 100 mile radius of me. Almost all of them use one of 2 tagging methods. One method is to have a colored brucellosis free tag with the age of the cow glued on the side or hip. Green=6-9 months bred. Red=4-6 months Blue=1-3 months Yellow=open White=not checked. The other method is a white brucellosis free tag with the age written on it and the preg stage 1,2,3/ open written in paint stick on the hip. No paint, wasnt checked. Either way, you know whether or not the cow was checked and if checked the vet's guess at how long bred. They age the cows by running their hand across the teeth. If a cow was on good grass and smooth land she will age younger than she is. If a cow was on hilly, rocky, short grass, she will age older than she is. You have to use your own judgement on the age to go with what the vet says [/QUOTE]
