Subject: RE: Cold and eartagging calves?


ND
I don't get em all tagged but I try for the first few weeks of calving. It pays IMO last year I had 28 sets of twins if I wouldn't tag I would not know they were twins one calf would die in them sets. I had 100 cows at a different farm last spring that calved on there own no tags were put in and we had two calves that withered away and died I am sure they were twins but by time you find a calf without a mother in that situation it is to late to save it. And in poor weather it can sure help keeping em paired up or getting em paired backup. Or get a cow that claims a calf before she has had her own then she calves and leaves it for the one she claimed before. Cows can test your patient's and question your sanity for owning em.
