[QUOTE="RVF, post: 517358, member: 7960"] I am a registered breeder and after trying many different systems have ended up with this one. The dam's number goes on the front of the tag. The calf's tattoo number goes on the back. I use a 3 digit number as the calf tattoo number the first digit is Year number, the next two birth order number (ie. 801 would be the first calf born in 1998 or 2008). If I have a 10 year old cow with the same number, I skip over it. For example if a cow 805, born in 1998, was in the herd, I would not assign 805 this year. Any heifer that is selected as a replacement would have it's ear tag removed and a new ear tag with its tattoo number on the front. To identify different sexs heifers get red tags, steers get white tags and bulls get blue tags. All tags go in the left ear because the tattoo goes in the right ear. [/QUOTE]
