[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 518622, member: 2862"] Pre-numbered steel tag in the ear, left for bulls, right for heifers. I started at 1, and I think I'll just keep on going. If they're retained, they get a pre-numbered brisket tag. Again, I started at 1 and will work my way up. Probably start over when I hit 9999. I tried all the spiffy numbering conventions with dangle ear tags, and found I lost WAY too many dangle tags. I tried the same spiffy numbering conventions with brisket tags and found the lettering wore off within a year, no matter what ink I used or how I did it. So now I got a bunch of cows with torn ears or plain white brisket tags :lol2: The pre-numbered tags never wear off, and if I really need to know something about a cow, I'll look it up when I get back to the house. In the case of a calf, when I do checks, I keep my current calving book with me. Then if I need to do a treatment, the books right with me and I can write it down. Rod [/QUOTE]
