We used to tag & tatoo all of ours on the day they were born, if you could find them, and then in the fall we would cut nuts and cull out the feed lot steers and the ones we were going to sell.<br /><br />You know I have pulled more calves then I could count over 21 years of cattle farming. I got pretty good at it.
