Tattoo Letters
by Dori Lowell
The tattoo prefix is tattooed into the right ear or right side
of the tail web of all goats you register. Into the left ear
or tail web goes a letter and number combination that
identifies each goat. Each left tattoo is different.
If you buy a bred doe, the kids born must carry the herdname of
the person who bred and sold the doe pregnant. You may use your
tattoo prefix on kids which are born while you own the dam.
An example of the tattoo numbering system would be as follows:
The letter T identifies kids born in the year 2004. T1 would be
your first kid born in 2004, T2 would be the second, T3 the
third and so on. When a new year begins your numbering begins
with the number one again.
