[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1741214, member: 498"] If these were staying home I wouldn't worry about tagging them. But these cows and calves go to a place with no corral. And it will take several loads to get them there. Take cow 1, 2, 3,..... you better have calf #1, 2, 3.... It is a couple thousand acres. Hard telling where a cow or calf without the other will be when we get back in an hour or two. We line up 3 or 4 trailers side by side. Everyone opens the doors at the same time. Cows find their calf and calves are looking for mom. So the calves are all numbered with the cows number. This year there are two calves with no ear tag. I didn't tag the graft calf because I wasn't sure the graft would work. But we know who he is and will get tagged at branding. The other is an easy to recognize red brokle face calf. That cow put B up on the roof of the Jeep Cherokee that is his calving vehicle. He is pretty much fearless and will smack a snot blowing cow in the nose. Just this evening he did that with two snot blowing cows. But number 14 wasn't buffing. We will tag that calf at branding. [/QUOTE]
