[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1166331, member: 22072"] The original question was, how was i going to tell which bull bred which cows when i run 4 bulls in a herd. I was asking how i was going to do as a AI does it in that comment? That was not the original question, but was what he was giving me. My question is, i have 100 cows and 4 bulls (mind you i'm suppose to keep my calf crop consistent) would i ever be able to pinpoint which bull sired heifers out of that herd. I've asked this several times when i'm told i dont keep records like big ranches do. So, i'm asking, if you have 100 cows and 4 bulls and keep heifers out of that herd, how will you know who sired who? My answer would be, run bulls you'd want to keep heifers out of and it doesnt matter which one. In my records i'd have the year the heifer was born....the next year, i'd have her a number, ear tattoo, bangs number......the next year, her first calf and sex of the calf and color....the next year, second calf, sex and color. I only note the size of the calf it i find it necessary. I take note on if births looked difficult, if she retained her afterbirth, if she hides her calf, anything i think i can use as the years go on. TB i hope your reading this so that maybe you'll remember and wont make remarks at how i dont keep records and if you made it to this point you do. If not i'll refer you to it each time you comment that... [/QUOTE]
