[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 573774, member: 5917"] Engler I resent that remark, it's not my fault the hubby forgot to take his cow book out of his shirt and I threw it in the washer. ;-) :D :lol2: We use both the cow book and I use Ranch Manager. Not a bad program and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You can check it out at [url=http://www.lionedge.com]www.lionedge.com[/url] We enter the cows tag number into our book, then record the date of birth of the calf it's number and sex. Instead of using the pre-numbered tags we get the ones you can engrave the number on. Our numbers start with the last number of the year, example we started with 801 this year and next year will be 901. then we can look at a number and get a goot idea of how old that animal is instead of digging around and trying to guess. The next two numbers are just in the order the calves were born. Don't try and set up a complicated system or it will come back to bite you. We now tatoo the calves tag number in their ear. Reason why is so if we have more then one animal lose a tag we don't mix up the numbers. Done that. :oops: [/QUOTE]
